Windows 10: I have an hp laptop and my neighbor has given me his network name and password he is only...

I can connect to my neighbors wireless network with my phone and note pad but i just installed windows 10 on my hp 15-f223wm laptop and can not see his network as available on it,! What can I do to resolve this problem.?

:)

 

How can I find the password for my Windows 10 laptop?

I found a solution to my problem. What I did was:

1. Open Network & Sharing Center on the laptop.
2. Click "Change advanced sharing settings"
3. Expand the "All Networks" item.
4. Change "Password protected sharing" from On to Off.

Now when I click my laptop name in File Explorer > Networks, it just shows my shared folder without asking for a network credentials password. This is how it used to work before.

Hope this helps others,

On the back of your WiFi router is a label with the following:

• An IP Address in the form of: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (e.g. 192.148.121.121)
• A User Name
• A Password

• On your PC or Laptop, open a web browser and enter the IP address into the address bar of the browser
• This will bring up the settings page for your router
• Enter the User Name and Password
• Then change both the user name and the password

Your neighbour should now not be able to access your network or any devices on it

You will however, have to sign in your devices again onto your WiFi using the new password . . .

 

Can't access drives on computers on network

I am on a new HP Pavilion laptop running Windows 10. I also have the following on my network, sharing the same domain.

• Laptop running Windows 7
• Laptop running Windows 10
• Desktop running Windows XP
• HP Deskjet printer

I can see the laptops and the printer on the network, and I can access and use the printer. But I cannot access the laptop drives. I am asked for the name and password for each device, but when entered, they are not accepted

What suggestions can you offer?
