# Microsoft RDP is unable to store passwords on the local computer

Microsoft RDP save password option greyed out in Remote Desktop Manager is fixed by setting the DisablePasswordSaving registry key value to 0.

In a Microsoft RDP session, you want to store the password on the local computer. However the "save password" button is grayed out.

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting may have been set by a group policy. If you find the value but do not know the reason why it is set, a Domain Administrator may have set it. We do not condone bypassing corporate policies.
{% endhint %}

### Solution

1. Click on Windows ***Start***, type ***R*** un and open the app.
2. Type ***regedit*** to open the registry editor and ***allow*** the app to make changes.
3. Navigate to **HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\DisablePasswordSaving** key and change the value to 0.
4. In Remote Desktop Manager, ***Open*** the ***Properties*** of the RDP session and validate that the ***Store password locally*** is activated and that you have text in the ***Host*** field.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/troubleshooting-articles/microsoft-rdp-is-unable-to-store-passwords-on-the-local-computer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
