Who knows Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)

I signed on and love it. It does what it claims to do but I recognize one glitch. When I had to send my laptop to repairs, I had to delete the entire program because changing passwords on the ddns server did not make a difference. Perhaps my laptop was accessing the LAN settings, but when I went to look, even the password had been upgraded on its own.

Is this a flaw in the DDNS? What do I need to change on the server to render it useless to outside programs that were previously accessing the information?
