    How do I change the Password for a Windows 10 Homegroup after I've forgotten the password?

    Hi Francis,

    Open File Explorer

    Right-click the Homegroup shortcut in the left navigation pane

    Select “View the HomeGroup password” from the context menu

    Thanks, Shawn. I had to set it to left-handed, even though I'm right-dominant. Weird. They open to the right now, though.

    What could have caused this? I've never had to change that setting before.

    You're most welcome. It may have been an update that reset it back to default.

    But isn't the default, to the right? That's how it always has been for me and I never changed that setting.
