Remove password protected sharing windows 7

We upgraded both our office computers to windows 10 last week and have had no issues so far, today however I am unable to open the shared folders as it is asking me for network credentials, which as far as i'm aware I have never set up and have certainly never been asked for before, this computer seems to have also changed networks and workgroups all of which I am unable to do anything about. I am well and truly stuck as I cannot open my accounts programme if I'm not on the same network as the other main computer.

In reply to NikkiL54's post on October 6, I found that entering the MS account and password checkbox remember gave me access. I'm assuming you signed in at log on with a MS account. In reply to XioFen's post on October 6, Thanks for the reply. How would I even find out what our network credentials are??? Have you tried that combination? Chris Beatrice. This basically worked for me, though since I do not require a password on my network I only had to enter my name the user name employed on the computer that is trying to access the other networked computer.

Even though I use a pw to log onto this computer, entering that did not work. I had to leave the pw field blank. Makes some kind of sense I guess This does not work!!!

I have restarted the computer as well, and got the same results. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Collectives on Stack Overflow. Learn more. Asked 3 years ago.
