network credentials password

I have laptop & desktop on the same Wi - Fi network at home, I want to see every content to computers via 'Network' in my computer. When I have each computer on and connect to my user account on each computer and go to desktop > network. I see both of my computers, but when I try and access my desktop to my laptop files, a Windows Security dialog box appears asking "enter your password to connect to: OLSENGROUP-PC.» He has a computer user name already and request a password, when I enter the password I think it is, it says logon failure: unknown user name is not valid or wrong password? How can I locate the "correct credentials" to open a session see ot my desktop computer?  Thank you, Keith

Go to the control / user accounts/manage your information of identification/Credential Manager and then change or add credentials for your PC.  For the user name, use the name of your PC under PC (in this case OLSENGROUP). The password, you must use at least eight characters. Before any less and Windows 7 will add an eighth character (s) that you have no way to identify and will probably cause a connection failure. This happened to me until I accidentally found this requirement of eight characters.

Windows 7 allows only a password of seven characters for Windows logon, but for some reason, the credentials requires eight.   I would like to know if it works.

  • Why NAS network credentials are missing (error code 0 x 80070056) even if the username and password are correct?

    When I try to create a system image on a network location Windows asks the credentials network for the target location. The credentials, I get are correct, but I still receive an error message that the location cannot be used because the password is not correct (error code 0 x 80070056).
    Screenshot

    The location of the target is a share on a netdrive - D - Link DNS-323. And the part I want access to the backup is already mapped to my computer.

    In fact, I got the same error when I traced the netdrive.
    Instead of just using the entered user name Windows 7 adds the computer as field in front of the user name-/ login in this schema: Name\Login name of the computer

    I guess, because of the addition of 'domain', authentication fails because the network drive does not recognize the name of the connection with the addition of domain. The network credentials window Windows always said that the (certainly correct) password is incorrect. If you check the box to save connection information, the Explorer will open up the reader, even if authentication failed. And now the mapped drives automatically reconnect and can be viewed on the browser without problems.

    Is this behavior a bug in Windows 7? Any way to fix or work around this problem?

    Hi Th_Row,

    You are on the right track with the help of the name of the computer you want to connect. Have you tried to use the domain\username of the device name? The default device name is dlink-[last 6 characters of the MAC address].
    For example: dlink-ECEA07
    If your final username should look like this: dlink-ECEA07\UserName
    You can also connect to your NAS server and click the device on the left. On the screen you should see the name; Is the name of your device.
    Try that and let me know if it works!

    tried to reinstall icloud etc, but still get the cant connect error error/server on the icloud desktop application (and icloud password is certainly very good, I can connect via a browser, etc.).

    is there something new I'm missing here?

    where exactly icloud stores local LAN credentials? And how I can force it to update, or even like, on stqrtup a LAN password to get through the LAN?

  • ID network and password.

    Hi guys

    I had an XP PC and laptop and a Win7 PC and down them on a Wi - Fi network on a working group called 'X' and all PC happily talking to each other. A month ago, I replaced the XP laptop with a laptop Win7 and it and release the Working Group X without problem.

    1 However, a lot of problems led me to need to have a mobile phone spare (identical) and when I ran across to the top, he finds the faulty laptop and has been set up on the working group using this and he contacted the task force without problem.

    2. the defective is now gone and today I changed the name of the laptop replacement. But whenever I want to access another group of work machine, I get a request ID and password - only for Win7 machines; there is no problem with the XP machine! I changed the settings do not ask for a password, but it does not seem to solve the problem.

    3. If I entered the name of my laptop because its ID and its network sharing Center password and it connected. I did the same thing with my PC and entered the name of the computer and the PC network sharing password Center and allowed access to this side here.

    4 1 problem: although I found I can connect using these identifiers and passwords, I didn't click on "remember the credentials" even in the case where I'm doing something irreparable. A silly question, but can I enter the laptop for the laptop only password and the password for the PC network only for the PC or should I just use the a passwords for both?

    5. issue 2: separately, in the network and sharing Center, I receive a message saying that Windows has detected another residential group on my computer and asks me if I want to join now. The thing is I don't know what is this homegroup, and I'm worried if I get the password of my PC I want to cause a problem and banjax connection I have via the ID and the password.

    I hope it's clear enough to allow someone to advise.

  • Re-enter your network credentials

    I just bought a Western Digital Cloud My. I implemented in my network with all the problems.  I went to put up to automatically backup of my laptop computer files by using the options in my area of the file history.  He backed up the files without problem.  I wake up today a notification on my computer stating that I have to

    'retype your network credentials. I'm not sure what references, it is.  What are the network credentials?  When I have the clock on this option, it asks me a username and password, but won't accept those that I think that it is.  So I guess I asking what username and password should I use to make this automatic save rerun.  Oh and I'm under window 8.

    found another solution that worked for me:

    put a '-' in front of your user ACCOUNT name and then use the password that you have installed. For example, if your user name on the WD is "Jean" then put "\john" as user name and type your password and see if that does not leave you.

  • Hi dear, I just set up my connection wireless network with password

    Hi dear,

    I just set up my network with password wireless connection and configure my router on the IP 192.168.1.2. , but to be

    honest im not sure person cannot access my network and record everything I have on my computr.is is it safe? Please tell me know if you

    don't know.

    Hi saba161,

    If you have the security key settings of the wireless network that turns on encryption. With encryption, people cannot connect to your network without the security key. In addition, any information that is sent on your network is encrypted so that only computers that have the key to decrypt the information can read it. This can help prevent attempts to access your network and your files without your permission. Common wireless network encryption methods are Wi Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2.

    Safety is always important; with a wireless network, it is still more important, because your network's signal could go beyond the boundaries of your home. If you don't secure your network, people with computers nearby may be able to access the information stored on computers on your network and use your Internet connection to get on the web.

  • Impossible to automatically mount network without password readers

    Hello

    First of all, I use MacOS Sierra, but I don't think that there is a forum for this yet.

    I have a mini mac which auto powers walk every day and basically sits there backing up files from multiple sources.

    One thing I need to do is to automatically mount a few files on my NAS.

    So far I have tried:

    • Use the Finder to use go-> connect to server, entering the mount point (tried with and without identification information in the path), ensuring that, when the dialog box that appears, I select the option to save the credentials in my keychain, then take this shortcut on the desktop and dragging it in my list of connection
    • With the help of Automator
    • Using AppleScript
    • Ensuring that all applications can use these passwords in the keychain without asking confirmation

    All these work the drive is mounted, but regardless of whether the name of user and password in the connection string or not and ensure that registration is set to password in the keychain, each time, I get a pop up asking for the name of user and password. It's always busy and all I have to do is click on the connect button, but it does not help on an unattended computer restarts every day.

    I was unable to get Apple script, click on the button to connect.

    Someone else you have this problem, or even better a solution?

    Thank you

    Hello anderfam,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    (1) make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled.
    (2) If you are using a computer connected to a "working group", click on the arrow next to password protected sharing to expand this section.  Check if password protected sharing is enabled or disabled.

    If the password sharing is enabled, only people with a user account and password for this computer will be able to access your printer. Disable this option if you want anyone on the network can access the printer you share unless you give then a user account and password.

    Printer sharing:
    ------------------

    To share the printer, configure the printer as a shared printer on the server or the host (the computer connected to the printer).
    Make sure that you install the printer driver on each client or the system remote (computers other than the server).
    It is preferable to obtain the most recent driver of your Web site.
    Also check that the printer is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    If Windows XP Professional Edition is the host:

    1. open the Printers window.
    2. click the right button on your printer list, and then select "Sharing" in the menu that appears.
    3. Select 'Share this printer', type a share name for the printer and click on 'OK '. Take note of this name as it will be used later.

    When Windows Vista is the client:
    Install the printer driver
    Use a driver downloaded from the manufacturer's site to install the printer
     
    1. If you use the downloaded driver, double-click the downloaded file, then click on 'run '. The file will then be extracted and start the driver installation.
    2 follow the prompts and continue with the installation until you reach the Setup completed screen appears.
    3. on this screen, check the "Select" printer port box, and then click on the manual button 'Selection '.
    4. Select "" LPT1: port local printer ' and click on 'OK', then click 'Finish'. "
    5. in the Printers window, right-click the printer icon and select 'Properties' (access to the Printers window)
    6. click on the tab "Ports", and then click 'Add Port '.
    7. Select "Local Port" and click "new port" button.
    8. Enter the name of the port using the XP computer name and the name of the printer in the \\ComputerName\PrinterName form and then click 'OK '. Close the Port name window.
    9. click on 'Close' in the Printer Ports window.
    10. the new port poster now as being selected. Click "close".
    11. click on "Install driver" If the following window appears. You are now ready to print.

    Another thing is to make sure that if the firewall windows is that there is an exception specified for sharing files and printing.
    Make sure that all the computers are on the same workgroup. By default, XP machines are set to "MSHOME" while Vista machines are set to "WORKGROUP". They should both say WORKGROUP.

    If please reply back and let us know if these measures have helped to solve your problem or if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • Network - username & password

    We have a netbook and laptop (Wifi and Windows 7 running) who can see and transfer the content.  The main computer that is wired is on Vista, but when I go to the network, I see that they are there, when I click on them I am obliged to give a username and password.  I never forget a username or password because it is so there a way I can find out what these are or disable the request?   Also, the netbook and laptop sees the main PC and public folders but cannot access it.   I shot all relevant things about struggling to password protect power off.  Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I think she's asking the other computer admin password.

    If you don't know or remember the password for this computer, you can restart it safe mode by pressing F8

    In safe mode, you should see another account named Administrator. From there, you should be able to change the admin password.

    I had a failure of hard drive on my laptop and I can't access my network of resources to work after installing the new drive.  A dialog box opens for a username and password when I try to map a network drive.  No other computer in fact.  Vista is the problem, but what is the solution?

    You must create an identical user account and password on your Vista machine that corresponds to the remote computer. The error you get indicates that you did not do this. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    I have really no idea what I'm talking about so I will explain better than I can - I'm sorry if it does not sense!
    We have a network of area to work and I just connected my new PC for her. I've used windows easy to transfer everything from my old PC.
    Now I can connect using my old name and password, access the server etc but any time I try to install a program that I need to enter the domain administrator name and password.
    I checked all the settings of the user account and my account is defined as an administrator. Is there something else I need to check/change? On my PC or on the server?

    OK so I just logged in as CNDOMAIN\Administrator and checked the accounts of users who looked the same as above, but when I logged in as CNDOMAIN\Jac I am now able to install / make changes without any problems. Strange, but now solved!
