Repopulating an Autocomplete field once bad data has been deleted

After initially inputting the wrong information in a user name field, I found that I could delete the bad auto-complete 'suggestion' to take it away forever. However, since this was done, I haven't been able to have the proper data save as an auto-complete 'suggestion' since. This means that upon entering the first few characters or using the down arrow nothing pops up to auto-complete with. How can the field be repopulated with the correct information? P.S.: Other pages that have auto complete work just fine. It is only this one field that I manually deleted that won't repopulate anything I type in.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving that form data.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name.

Good point. However, my thinking is that since this page had the field populated before I deleted the bad data, the autocomplete of the page is not set to off. Any other ideas as to how this could happen or a fix?
