Windows 10: Credentials Login issue on new computer added to small Win 10 network

Hi


I have had 3 computers running perfectly on a Win 10 network. Each computer can see and access each other perfectly with no logins etc required.


But I have now added another Win10 computer but am having issues with Network Credentials being required.


This new PC can see and access one of the others without any login. But for the others it is asking for a Network Credentials login in order to be able to access them.


One of the existing ones can see and access the new one. The other two can see it but are requiring credentials login.


How do I get rid of any credentials requirement on all computers.


All are set up with full file sharing etc as far as I can see. Password protection is off on all of them and all belong to the same workgroup


I want everything to see everything else without any logins required


Thanks




:)

 

Network Credentials

add a password to your sharing machines logon, try login then with the same credentials but using "XXXXXX\username" as the login where the xxxxx is the sharing computer name. (remember big letters)

 

New prompt for Network Credentials on W10 not seen before.


Multiple computers on wireless net. Some W7 and one W10. Files visible on any computer from any computer and then a second W10 computer was added. Attempts to access its files or to use it to access files on any of the other computers elicits a small window/prompt for Network Credentials: Username and Password.

What username? What password? Suggestions?

TIA for any actionable suggestions.

option to change the login credentials on Windows 10 computer

Hello Ankit,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

We would like to know if you have received any email when you say Microsoft gave me an option to change the login credentials on my Windows 10 computer

Again, please be informed that in order to change the Login ID credentials, you need to access you Microsoft Account at the first place, in this case which would be recovering the Microsoft Account(MSA).

I suggest you to follow the recommended link which was earlier suggested.

Getting back into your Microsoft account if it’s been compromised


Once you recover your MSA, you can refer to the below steps to change the credentials.

• Login to https://login.live.com.
• Specify the current Windows live ID and password in the available fields and click
  Sign in.
• On Microsoft account page, make sure that Overview category is selected from the left pane.
• From the right pane, click Rename account under Account summary.
• From the right pane of the next page, make sure that Create a new email address radio button is selected under
  Rename your Microsoft account.

Hope it helps this time.

Thank you.
