I entered a user name incorrectly and now it comes up every time I try to log into a particular website? How do I delete an automatic username prompt?

Is it possible to delete or change username information? The website I am having a problem with does not show up in my saved list of bookmarks even though it is bookmarked on my computer. It is a website that does not allow a saved password. When I start to type my username two names immediately pop up. I want to delete the incorrect one. Thank you.

This "solution" works right away and gratifies my desire not to see the erroneous username, but I doubt it solves the problem that I put my password in my username and I am sure any hacker with a little knowledge (more than mine) could find it. Does anybody have a solution to that?
