How to delete a saved password

When we access a page with a password google chrome asks us if we want to save this password.

Password recovery

Last summer I got a bit paranoid and created a very strong password for my laptop. I used a random generator to create an extremely strong password and for safety reasons I did not write it down. After a few weeks of vacation I forgot of course the password. I could have reinstalled the operating system but I was not in the mood to search for and reinstall all the software that I had on my laptop. I just wanted to have full access again to do some updates. The laptop did not have any other operating system installed. It had an internal DVD-driver but I was not sure if it was working or were my bland DVDs were. The BIOS was resent enough to allow booting from a USB pen drive. I also had another PC with Linux on it available.

This can cost a lot of money by losing important data, abuse of sensitive credentials or system destruction. However, the usage of SSH is very comfortable for loading files to an external machine.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">The most recent incident was a Worm that requested some money from the iPhone users to secure the iPhone.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">The solution should be usable on Max OS X, Windows and Linux, because I am using all three systems. It is does not matter, if the solution is usable using some tools or the command-line.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
