How to Disconnect from Network folder

There is a network directory like "\\ABCD\\EFGH" in my office server that I used to access. I need to log-in to the directory for only first time. Now I want to disconnect it from the server because I want to test my program which need to access network directory with user name and password. So I find a way to disconnect from server. I found out as follows:

Click Start and open Run
In that window type: control userpasswords2
Press OK
in the next window go to the secon tab on top, named: Advanced
and from there open: Manage Passwords
There you should see if there is a password stored for the address that you have mentioned
If yes then delete it and close the windows with OK
try to connect again to that address, it should prompt for authentication. Do not check the Remember option...
