A. B. C. D.A.
The Control Panel utility that can help Joe with this situation is A. Credential Manager.
Credential Manager is a Windows utility that stores login information for websites, networks, and other applications. When a user changes their password, they must update it in Credential Manager so that Windows can use the new password when connecting to the network or other resources.
In this case, it is likely that the pop-up box that Joe is seeing is related to a network resource, such as a mapped drive or printer, that requires his network login credentials. By updating his password in Credential Manager, Windows should use the new password when connecting to these resources and the pop-up box should no longer appear.
To access Credential Manager, Joe can open the Control Panel by clicking the Start menu and selecting Control Panel. From there, he can select User Accounts and then Credential Manager. In Credential Manager, Joe can locate the network resource that is prompting him for his password and update the stored credentials to reflect his new password.
Alternatively, Joe can search for Credential Manager in the Windows search bar and open it directly.
