Windows 10: Password is incorrect on mapped NAS folder

So, as of this week after the latest updates from Windows 10 I no longer can access a NAS mapped folder from both Windows 10 updated machines.

When accessing the mapped folder it states: "password is not correct".


Tried to logon with IP-address, i.e. \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\user or \\NASname\user or \NASname\user or user@NASname: did not work

I already resetted the NAS account: did not work

Redo the mapping: did not work

Set SMBv1 in Features: did not work

Automatically run several services as suggested on the internet: did not work

Set firewall and antivirus software to OFF: did not work

Created a new public share on the NAS with a new account: did not work

Updated the NAS to its latest version: did not work, Note: NAS is Synology DS1815+ with DSM 6.2.1

Used several complex Netsh commands as suggested on the internet: did not work

Set all shared features on ON in Network Services (were already on): did not work

Edited registry-keys as suggested on the internet: did not work

Restored a backup of Windows 10: did not work


So I don't know anymore what to do.

Note that the NAS can be accessed easily via HTTP and via FTP.

Also the media services from the NAS (video, photo and music) are accessed correctly.


So the only problem is with the folder mapping in Windows Explorer.

Folder contents not copying on the first try in Win10 to a NAS

I tried using the cmd console as you suggested. I did an xcopy with the /S parameter and successfully copied a folder hierarchy to a mapped drive. So I started thinking, maybe it needed to be a mapped drive. I had only used a open folder on the NAS and never
mapped a drive letter to it. However there was no luck with that. I dragged a folder to the newly mapped N: drive, and it still only created an empty folder on mapped NAS drive.

 

The Password is Incorrect

I have tried login in to my computer on Windows 10 but it shows password is incorrect. I have followed the steps indicated but it is still showing that the password is incorrect. Please advise.

 

HELP [MAPPING NETWORK DRIVE]--Cannot Connect to NAS


Windows 10 rightly considers your NAS as a "device" not a "folder" . You can map shares on an NAS because these are folders, but you cannot (and never have been able to) map devices to a drive letter. P&P and USB devices and those that are part of your system (such as a DVD drive) are mapped automatically.
