i figured out how to get rid of it. it is not a per user password but the dialup server password ( same regardless of user, attached to incoming calls ).
to get it cleared out i had to uninstall dialup networking, reboot, rename c:\windows\rna.pwl to rna.xxx, reboot, then reinstall dialup networking.
