How do I reset the saved information I type into blanks that allows shortcuts (i.e. email address login, etc.)?

For example, I typed my user name into a login window (blank box to fill in information), and I accidentally typed my password into this window. Therefore, whoever goes to this website and types words in the blank will be able to see my password. I simply need to delete the information saved in firefox for these blank boxes. I do not want to reset all my preferences or be forced to uninstall firefox altogether.

Firefox will remember new form data when entered.
