web mail log in is preserving an email address w/ exposed password. How can this be fixed?

when logging into web mail, I mistakenly entered my email password while still in the address box. Now, whenever I begin to enter my email address, the complete address shows up (cool) and underneath that is the "alternative" address which includes my password (uncool). I have gone to Tools and cleared cache and cookies to no avail. How can this be cleared?
