    Password for Shared Drive


    Win 10 recently did update. Since then I have been asked for a password to access a shared folder on our other computer. I don't know what password it wants. I have been using this shared folder for months, maybe years without a password. Where can I find it, change it, disable it?

    :)

    Windows 10 share always asks for password

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting your query to Microsoft forum. I will certainly help you with this.

    I would like to know;

    • Do you have any other user account or is the issue specific to your user account?
    • Are you able to share after password ?
    Since you have already tried the logical troubleshooting, I would suggest you to make change in the group policy and check the issue. Refer the link below:

    Note: The link is for Windows 7 however the same steps has been tested on Windows 10.

    Refer Shaon Shan's suggestion:

    Network Sharing Failure: Password Protection off still require password.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please post back for further assistance, we'll be glad to assist you.
