We need some more information!
There are two completely different ways of sending and receiving email. In most offices, for example, email is handled through a dedicated program (called an email client) such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail or Thunderbird. Many home users also use email clients but a growing number prefer to access their email accounts through their web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Without knowing which method you're using to access your mail, it's impossible to provide an accurate answer to your question.
However I'll take a guess that you're using Outlook Express or a similar program (simply because I know that Outlook Express has a nasty habit of mixing up usernames and passwords). If so, go to Tools > Accounts. If your email account isn't already highlighted in the list, click on it. Then click on Properties. Click the Servers tab,delete the account name and password, then re-enter them. Click on Apply and then on OK.

You have probably asked something to remember your username and inadvertently entered it, missed the tab key, and then typed the password at some point. My guess anyway. As for correction, can only suggest looking for where you can turn off the 'remember username/password' and then turn it back on again once it's forgotten yours.
