  1. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers
  3. Delete the connection info for the computer that you want to reset

The next time you log in, type the name, and the request returns.

I tested this.

This worked for me as well in Windows 7. Due to this issue, I was strangely unable to login to RDP.

These are the steps I have done

1) Remove the Default.rdf from Documents folder. It will be hidden
2) Remove the RDP connection folder using regedit in the following folder
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers
3) Run mmc.exe. Add Snap In -> Cerificates -> Computer Account -> Local Computer -> Finish
Expand the Added Certificate -> Remote Desktop folder and remove the certificate issued.
4) Do Step 3 in remote desktop as well

Thanks, Sarath
