    LAN and Enter Network Credentials


    I am trying to create a local ethernet home network with 2 laptop computers both running Windows 10, version 1909. I have spenthours watching YouTube videos and reading advice on how to get the two laptops to recognise each other - but keep getting the message "Windows Security, Enter network credentials". This occurs on both computers when I try to connect either one to the other. I do not know what user name and password to enter and have tried plenty! Is there a QUICK and EASY i.e not technical! fix that allows me to by-pass this message? I am very nearly there but am probably missing something really trivial. Help and a SOLUTION would be brilliant. Many thanks in advance.

    :)

    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.
