Passwords in Samsung Galaxy Tab

Hi, can somebody please tell me how to delete passwords from my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10".

I have accessed different websites (such as Amazon & Ebay) using my tablet and I can't delete them, so that when I open the website the password box is already filled in. Even if I delete it, the next time it's back again.

I have searched through the settings (and Googled) and can't find how to do it. The nearest I've found is Open browser, select Settings, then clear Passwords - but I can't find "clear passwords"!

TIA for your assistance:)

    If you are using the built in apps then you can clear the data for them by following the instructions provided by JJEgan but for each individual app rather than the browser. You could even use the uninstall option which would take the app back to its original setting.

    On my Samsung it is through Settings, General, Application Manager, then scroll down to Ebay.

    Thank you both.

    JJEgan - I've gone into Settings, Applications Manager, Opera (my browser), Clear cache which was reading 0.07 to zero, and then gone back to Amazon but my password is still there. I think I did see somewhere a sync setting but I can't find it now; and it's only passwords which I'd prefer not to sync. I assume that means sync with other devices like my laptop?

    If I select clear data what other 'stuff' will be removed?

    Neil - When I go into the Applications Manager, Ebay/Amazon and similar are not even listed - it's mainly the games and Google Apps there.

    I've tried signing into my browser to try deleting the save passwords setting but I keep getting "Temporary server error" message.

    If you bring up Operas setting menu.
    Then select clear browsing data>tick clear saved passwords>OK
    Does this produce the error?

    No,, I haven't downloaded apps. I think I probably just opened the ordinary websites using my tablet.

    I believe I'm about to have a light-bulb moment?:o
