How to Change the Password for a WAN Miniport
A WAN miniport in Windows facilitates the connection to a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN uses tunneling software to connect to a company's private network over the Internet. The WAN miniport contains a password used to connect to the VPN. The miniport properties configuration utility is located in the Windows Control Panel. Use the utility to change the miniport's password so that you do not have to type the password each time you connect to the VPN.
