I accidentally entered my password in the "user ID" field of a website login, and now formfill shows it in the list of suggestions for that field. Is there a way to make formfill "forget" a specific entry?

While logging in to a secure website, I was typing too fast and accidentally included my password in the used ID field while logging in and hit enter before I realized my mistake. I then logged on properly, but now Firefox includes this false entry (along with another accidentally misspelled entry) in the list of formfill suggestions whenever I go to this page. I would prefer not to turn off formfill completely, but obviously I don't want my password shown either. Can I somehow delete the false entry from the list of suggestions that formfill shows? (I am using Firefox 6.0 on Windows 7)
