Windows 10: Find network access credentials windows 10 or 11

I've been running my local wired network with password protected sharing turned off.To reduce the risk of infection I've now turned it on on all the pc's.The result is that I am now unable to access any of the machines on the network running windows 10 or 11I need to input the username and passwordHowever using whoami locally to get the username, and entering the pin as the password I get "the username or password is incorrect"trying to access another machine I get "\\XXXXX is not accessible. ... etc."Is there a simple way I can turn on machine A and determine what credentials are required

Network Credentials

Hi Sammy,

To assist you better regarding your concern with network credentials, have you checked the Windows credentials for any information about the username and password for the network credentials? If not yet, follow the steps below to access Windows Credentials
manager.

• Press the Windows icon on the desktop.
• Type in Windows Credentials.

We would appreciate as well if you could provide us a screenshot.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Cannot clear network access credentials


OS: Windows 10 x64

I access a network server using a username + password. I'd like to use another username+password, but I cannot clear the old credentials. What I've done until now:

1. there was nothing to delete in Windows credentials (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager)
2. net use * /del
3. klist purge
4. restart explorer
5. restart PC
6. changed the password on the server, and saving NEW credentials on the PC. When I reverted back to original server password, the PC connected automatically (this makes me think that those credentials were saved somewhere, but I don't know where).

 

Windows Network Credentials

Hi Keith,

We suggest that you disable Credential Manager before mapping your Drives. Please follow these steps to disable Credential Manager:

• In the search box type “Services”
• Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator”
• In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and click “Stop”.
• Restart the computer and go back the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
• Restart the computer again.

Please keep us updated if you were able to map your drives.
