Windows "helpfully" remembers your username and password for the duration of your login. A logoff and back in would had sufficed.
What I have found is that Windows remembers username and password per host, so once you connect to a share on a given host with a particular username and password, you cannot connect to the same host with a different username and password.
One work around is to use the "netbios aliases" feature which allows a server to have multiple names on a network. This would allow you to connect to the same server with different user names during the same Windows session as it would think you are connecting to a different host.
