    How do I know the network credentials when accessing another network drive? 961ec852-7d24-4010-8ce2-7401a5deb9b8?upload=true.jpg


    I tried going to Credential manager and there are a lot of things written under Generic Credentials. I don't know which credentials should I use. I want to know the username and password.I know I can just turn of password protection but I still want to know how to setup what credentials to use and how to change them in case I need to use the password protection in the future.


    Thank you! :

    :)

  2. 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.

    Asking to enter network credentials when access files on network

    Hi Steve,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that after an update, you get a prompt to enter network credentials to access files over network. I’ll certainly help you with the issue.



    Ideally, if you have never used credentials to access files over network, you may want to check the network settings and see if Password protected sharing is turned off. To do this, refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Go to control panel > Click on
      network and internet >
      Click on network and sharing.
    2. Click on Change advance sharing settings
      on the left pane.
    3. Turn off password protected sharing.
    4. Click on Save changes


    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    network credentials

    "Network Credentials" still pops on my other computer Gerardscave and Dadscave will not list Gerardscave in the network. Gerardscave will list Dadscave but cannot access it. They are cat 6 wired through the same router.
