To clear everything, from the general tab of internet options;
click on delete files, delete cookies, clear history.

As to recovering the site password option, it depends on how it was disabled.
This comes from a MVPS page on IE problems.

I said "no" to remembering a password. How do I make IE ask again?
Passwords are saved in one of two places - in .pwl or in a cookie stored on the system. For a web page based password request, you need to find the cookie for the site in question and delete it.

For password prompt from IE, go to tools, internet options, content, autocomplete and turn on the option to remember passwords.
