  1. Windows security network credentials does not recognize password


    This problem began right after my most recent Windows 10 update earlier this week. Until then I did not have a problem.

    We have a small home office. Our LAN has 4 desktops with ethernet connections, 2 laptops that connect wirelessly, and a NAS server with ethernet connection. My desktop computer is the only one exhibiting this problem.


    The NAS is mapped to have 6 drives in addition to the 2 that came from the maunfacuturer. The drives are password protected. When I try to access the NAS drive I get the windows security network credential popup asking for a password. I enter the password, but it is not accepted.


    I have checked and re-entered the password in the Credentials Manager. I have rebooted several times. I checked the NAS setting in the navigator and re-entered the password there, as well.


    I can ping the NAS. I can access the internet. I can read the drives on the NAS that are not password protected.


    I have googled everywhere and I am at my wits end.


    Thankfully, this problem is only on my computer.


    There is a not a "show" option to see the password in the Credentials Manager. I have even typed the password into Notepad document and then copy-pasted it into the password.


    Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

    Edit Network Credentials

    I just got my laptop back from the repair shop where the HD was wiped and Windows 10 reinstalled. I want to share other network devices, but I'm being asked for my Network Credentials. I don't know what they are. I can follow the steps to get to the credentials
    details link from Control Panel, but I can't seem to change or remove the hidden password. Advice? Suggestions?

    TIA
