Force Autocomplete (Remember Passwords) in Internet Explorer

Some websites or in my case (Oracle E-Business Suite Login page) may opt out of using autocomplete by using autocomplete="off" in the form tag as shown below:

<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" autocomplete="off"
  action="http://www.example.com/form.cgi">
[...]
</form>

Internet Explorer you will not be able to remember passwords if autocomplete is off. Other browsers like Chrome overrides this so no need to use this workaround with it. If you have to use Internet Explorer (Like my case) then there is a workaround for this problem. It's a simple javascript code which scans the html code and changes the autocomplete property from off to on..
