    I temporarily subscribed to a parner WIFI ISP who used the Wayport WIFI system at a local McDonalds. Later I cancelled the account due to login problems. Then the manager at the McDonalds gave me a coupon to try the Wayport WIFI for free for one day. However, when I connect to the Wayport server a login screen appears but does not provide a window to enter the coupon number. Instead, a message appears telling me that since I had previously logged on using a partner ISP - that I should again do that.

    So my question is, how do I find and delete the reference file that Wayport is accessing on my notebook pc to know that I had previously logged in using a partner ISP?

    Thanks!

    My Guess would be C:/ Documents and Settings/ User name/ Application data (hidden). It's hidden so make sure you have show hidden files checked in view.

    Don't all those Wireless ISP use an internet-based application to login users? I know whenever I fly and have to pay for internet at the airport, you open up internet explorer and login to the internet there.

    If that's the case, couldn't you just delete your Cookies/History/Temporary Files from the IE options?
