    All network shares are failing with 'The username or password is incorrect'


    Hi, First thing on the morning of Sept 11, on my Win11 PC I noticed that my share Z: drive to my NAS was down. From then on when I tried to reestablish the connection it fails with 'The username or password is incorrect'. I have not changed this UID/PW pair and it continues to work fine from my Win10 PC.Now just today, I get the same error when trying to connect to a shared drive on my Win 10 PC, although I can still remote desktop from my Win11 PC to my Win10 pc.Note: my Win10 pc can still access my Win11 PC shared drive as well as my NAS just fine.My Win11 pc has been able to access these sh

    Cannot connect to PC in network: username or password incorrect

    hi foxinit, if you are trying to access ebay7753 from another PC on your network then you need to use the username and password for ebay7753, assuming you have the network and rights correctly configured.

    All network shares are failing with 'The username or password is incorrect'

    Cannot connect to PC in network: username or password incorrect

    Hi Guys
    Sorry to have to ask, but after months I still cannot access the media PC from any PC aside from mine. We have 7 Windows PC's plus phones. The kids (and I) would like to access the media PC from their devices. ALL Win 10.

    I can access the media PC from my PC (UD5) but that is all. I can access everything on the network.

    We can see the PC (called ebay7753 - I got it from eBay) but when we try to access the files we get "username or password is incorrect".

    Here is my first dumb question:

    1. I am using the username on the PC that I am on - is this correct?
    2. I am using the password that I "think" is the network password.

    Then - username or password is incorrect

    Hope you can help?? Thank you
