How can I delete a stored user ID on a MAC?

I use an IMAC and inadvertently typed my password into the userID box. Now when I click on the userID box my password is shown. I cannot delete or erase it. I've tried adding numerous other possible "userID's" onto the page and now they all show so my password isn't so obvious, but I'd like to delete them all and start from scratch. Is there any other solution besides changing my password itself? Thank you!
