How can I get Firefox to remember the password for a site I earlier chose "Never for This Site" for?

I do have Firefox set up to remember passwords for sites. There is one site I signed up for that I chose "Never for This Site" for, but now I want Firefox to save that password. I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit) on a PC laptop, and the version of Firefox I'm using is 3.6.10.

In the Security and passwords settings, in the Passwords section click on the Exceptions button and remove the site from the list.

Hey TonyE, thanks. I tried that and the site wasn't listed in Exceptions though. I have a feeling that site (Pandora) doesn't let you save the password...

If you mean http://www.pandora.com/login.vm?target= then that is a normal log in form and shouldn't cause problems.

Do you see any empty name or password entries in the Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords" window?

Thanks cor-el! I was logging into Pandora at http://www.pandora.com/#/account/sign-in/ instead of http://www.pandora.com/login.vm?target=. This time I also used the bookmarklet explained at https://support.mozilla.com/questions/758216#answer-110044 that makes the browser ignore web site requests not to remember passwords. I appreciate the help everybody!
