Clear cached credentials - single network share

I have a client that's connecting to a network share on a server. The password was changed on the server, however Windows has cached the login credentials. How do I get the client machine to prompt for new credentials? Is there a way to do it without using the "net use * /delete"? This will cause it to unmount all the current network mappings and I don't want it to release the current drive maps... only a specific network share.
 
You could issue a net use \\servername\sharename /delete to remove just that map, then remap.

I'm Certifiable, not cert-ified.
It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.
 
net use can be used to delete an individual connection. For a mapped drive assinment:
net use z: /delete [or whatever drive letter]

For un-mapped connections:
net use \\server\share /delete

For a list of all active connections, simply use:
net use
 
Thank you. Worked great.
