I have succefully configured a network backup.

Since the network backups don't over right our network guys are going to write a script to delete them.

The questions is under "Connect to the network folder as"
there is a password entered. It's all starred out. What is that that password from? and where can I find it?

Any ideas?
 
It's the password of the account also entered, which should have access to the domain folder.
Better to use a script to delete older backups from that network folder and don't touch the CP configuration.
This vb script below deletes any file older than 30 days from the folder C:\temp. Schedule it via Task scheduler and voila!

/*************/
Dim Fso
Dim Directory
Dim Modified
Dim Files

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Directory = Fso.GetFolder("C:\Temp")
Set Files = Directory.Files

For Each Modified in Files
If DateDiff("D", Modified.DateLastModified, Now) > 30 Then Modified.Delete
Next

Set fso = Nothing
Set Directory = Nothing
Set Files = Nothing
