Shared folder now asking password?

I have three computers networked over the network to the Microsoft home page. All computers are under XP SP3 and I updated each computer.

One of the computers is my work laptop. I usually "backup" my work files on my main computer on the network, using the "shared folder" of the main computer. For some reason, whenever I try to access the main computers 'shared folder', I now get a request a password. This seems to happen spontaneously that I've never had this problem before.  Everything was worked very well so far.

I don't have the accounts password protected. I tried every password I've ever used, does not. This is * NOT * a problem of 'forgotten' but password Windows XP suddenly asking for a password when I have never posted before.

I can access my "shared folder" computer laptop on the network with other computers without problem. The only problem is trying to access the shared folder on my main computer, which translates the request for a password. The user name is gray, with the name of the main computer in the username followed by a slash "/ guest" and then a password box to enter.

I checked simple file sharing and have never changed this setting. I have run and rerun the wizard network on all computers without success. I tried assigning passwords and use them, without success.

An index is on the computer I am currently viewing, I used to have two accounts of users (in addition to the hidden Admin account). One of these accounts has BEEN password protected, but NOT all files were used in this account. Recently, I deleted this account that I no longer use it. In other words, the deleted account was in any way related with the "shared folder" that I use with the other account, the only one on the computer now.

The account that I use for the "shared folder" does not have a password, but even if I assign one, it won't let me access the shared folder on any other computer. This user account has administrator privileges.

I have also enabled and disabled the "guest" account, without any help.

I am at a loss to understand why Windows asking you now this password. I saw one couple of other similar questions raised but not solutions.

Any ideas?

PS: If I access the computers 'discovers the Working Group"I have no problem accessing the"printers and faxes"on the main computer of the notebook. However, I cannot access the file 'sharedocs '? Something specific happened to the file "sharedDocs" on the main computer.

  • After restoring factory and updates for Windows 7, the system now asks passwords

    Recently had to do a factory restore on a toshiba laptop with windows 7 preinstalled top. has restarted the machine once he had comepleted and now it says Admin profile is locked and my username and password do not work


    1 - password was never set on the user profile. (Yes it may have been stupid not to do that for security, but that a person uses the laptop)

    2nd why admin profile has been locked?

    3rd - without having a password to disk or save it on a USB key, how can I get around this?

    no disc to try this.

    Ive managed to get it to load the office by changing the settings via safe mode, but with a full restore (some missing drivers, IE the sound card), it always seems to be filled with questions. It runs terribly slow now and still doesn't let me do half of what I need to do to restore its former glory.

    at the present time, this will make a nice door stop or decoration of the table such that it cannot serve to something else other than to gather dust.

    does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem that began after I installed the latest update of windows 7, 2 days ago.

    Try this:

    To access the system recovery environment in Windows 7, simply start your PC, just before the system loads the Windows operating system. Press the [F8] key function 8 on your keyboard which will launch the menu Advanced Boot Options. You will see a new option "Repair your computer", select this option and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.

    This will allow you to start system recovery environment and access to the same tools.

  • screen saver now asking password

    For these last days, I had problems with my screen saver. It was scheduled to start after 5 minutes, but usually it will come only after 10 min, or not at all. If it turns on, if off after 2-10 min. I looked here and found what might be a something to do with the numeric value was 1 I had to change that. It does not resolve when the screen saver is, but now, when I move the mouse to stop the screen saver, I have to type my password. Here's the thing, THE-IS - NOT - CHECKED. The password bit began this morning. It's getting more than a little frustrating.

    My computer is a Compaq Presario desktop computer with Windows 7 (Service Pack 2 I think)

    Hello

    ·         The problem happens with a special screen saver or another screen saver as well?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest you to change the screen saver and check if the problem persists.

    Change your screen saver

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-screen-saver

     

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

     

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • I want to prevent the use of the login and password of CentOS 6.5 to the shared folder Windows 7

    Recently, I lost my hard drive Windows 7 Pro to crash and had to rebuild the laptop from scratch. I have set up the laptop to share files on the local network with XP, Vista, and CentOS 6.5 PC. The file sharing (without need of login/password) with all PC work with one exception.

    When you use the 'of' the CentOS PC file manager to access the shared folder on Windows 7, I am invited with login/domain/password popup box. I enter the credentials and everything works well. And I have to do it once. The same user name exists on all PCs. But I think the connections via file sharing simply under "guest" or "annonimus. The race of Samba (SMB) of the computer of CentOS version is version 3.6.9. I have tried so many combinations of solutions and none seem to work. See the list below:

    Windows:
    Edit local security policies
    Remove the TransportBindName (then add back)
    Set UseNewSmb = 0, then returns to 1

    Samba:
    security = share and then I tried security = user
    client NTLMv2 auth = Yes and return to no.
    NTLM auth = none and return to Yes

    I am hoping there is a configuration that will prvent the annoying popup login/password.

  • I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

    Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

    I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

    If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

    Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

    Hi brets49833316,

    If you have purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro DC as an upgrade, then a serial number of the previous version which you have like Acrobat X or XI. If in the case where you have not bought one of these in the past, then you must buy Acrobat Pro DC as full version (US $449.00).

    In this scenario, you can return the version upgrade and purchase the full version. To return the Contact Customer Service

    Thank you

    The VMWare Tools included with fusion 7.0.1 solved this problem for me (and without any serious regressions I noticed so far, at least, which is nice but not something I intend on with vmware), so probably the next update of each VMware product should include the updated tools.  Don't know how long updates to other products are coming, however.  Wonder if there is a separate place to get just the tools to day?

  • Scan cannot access a shared folder on 10.11.5

    I shared a folder on OSX 10.11.5.  The permissions are correct.  I can access the share from a Windows machine (he asks credentials and is REALLY slow to display files), but when I try to scan a document to sharing it errors every time.  It worked until recently.  I'm 100% sure that the credentials on the scanner are correct.

    Just so there is no confusion I created an account on my scanner on a network (which is on the same subnet) with the same references as those of a user on the OSX machine.  The sharing is visible and accessible in writing from a Windows machine.  When I scan from the scanner (A Konika Minolta Bizhub) it says "error: unable to connect to the server."  This isn't a matter of connection/permissions because when I change the credentials, I get a different error message.

    Any ideas?

    So you're probably aware that Apple has changed the version of SMB used 10.7 and later and as a result many multifunctional no longer able to scan to a share on the Mac via SMB. I know that KM has released a fix for some of their machines that made this work again. Since you mention work recently, I assumed that it was a Mac OS x 10.11.x. Is this correct?

    If Yes, then on the KM, you can navigate to sharing Mac instead of using the address book entry? If you can, and then using this function, you should see the Mac and when you select it, you should get a prompt to authenticate. If you specify the account name on the Mac, that needs to be enabled via system preferences > sharing > file sharing > Options > Windows, then the password file sharing, is the shared folder appears? You get an error at this stage, or when you first select the Mac?

  • CANNOT write to files in the shared folder of XP on a PC running windows 7 - but good vice versa

    I have a laptop under Windows 7 (SP1) and a desktop running XP (SP3).  I have connected both via a wireless network. While I can see and access shared files/folders from one computer to the other computer, I can only read/write files in the shared folder on the portable computer that is running Windows 7.

    If I try and change a file in the shared folder from the PC under XP on my laptop, I get the message "this file is set to read-only. Try again with a different name "."  I know that the file is NOT checked for read-only. When I change the name of the file I get the error message "\\Desktop\SharedDocs\filename.doc you are not allowed to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval.  You want to save in the folder my documents instead? "If I save the file to another location on the laptop under Win7 it save then OK.  I can not just save a modified version of the file in the same shared folder from desktop running XP.
    It seems that it must be something to do with permissions and access to the parameters of the desktop running XP but I can not find these. Fairly easy to find in Windows 7.
    Finally, I don't have a login/password set for the connection to the computer to Office XP.  I don't have a user name and password for the laptop Win7 but you have turned off password protected sharing.
    Anyone have a solution to this?
    Thank you

    OK - the problem is now resolved.

    I noticed that the read-only for the shared folder has been checked. When I unchecked it and also checked the box "allow network users to change my files" in the shared folder properties/sharing, I was able to modify and save files in the shared folder on my laptop.
    It's a little weird because I thought I had done this the other day where the results have been less successful.  Strange.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi mimifan,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I understand you are trying to set up the network on the Mac folder.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    You will need to contact Apple to get user and password name.

    I would ask them to help the network also folder setup.

    Here are the steps below to configure the network folder if you want to try.

    1. create a new folder on your computer.

    2. right-click (CTRL left click if you use the keyboard of the Mac) and select read.

    3. unlock the screen, set the expression to everyone read/write &, located under the share permissions &...

    4. enter in System Preferences > sharing and select file sharing in the left bar.

    5. click on the Options button, mark the share files and folders using SMB (Windows) and click done

    6. under shared folders, click the sign more and select the configured folder.

    7. ensure that "everyone" permissions are set to read & write under the list of users as well.

    8. you will see the IP at the top of this screen, make a note to configure the EWS page.

    You must use the following path:

    IP-ADDRESS/Sahred-folder-name

    Be sure to include your user name and password when defining the analysis of the network folder.

    I have provided a document to configure the network folder go measures to see if this will solve the problem.

    How to perform a scan: from the control panel (including the Scan to Email, in PDF format, and to a network folder).

    Go to how scan directly into a network (only for network connections) folder.

    I hope this helps.

  • .. .connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11?

    Hi all


    I developed a project a few years back that work as follows:


    This has been designed to work on Win XP, using Director MX2004

    Server installation

    All media when installed on a server and the folder that they resided in a was installing as a shared folder.


    Workstation installation

    A projector has been installed on a PC workstation, as well as the Director of projector, a txt file has installed, the txt file contained the unc path where resided all media files. that is all Director & video file etc.

    The projection file could get the unc path, read the text file and open the appropriate dxr file.


    It worked very well.

    ___________________

    My question is, now I'm upgrading to Director 11 software, it is necessary to work the same way on MAC OS x. The only difference in the system will be that media files will reside on a MAC server and workstations are MACs (Macs Intel, who use the latest OSX).


    How can you connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11?


    Its not "\\share_name"... 'afp:\\share_name' should work?


    I get the cannot find "myfile.dxr" alertbox


    I hope that I have explained myself well enough.


    Any help would be much appreciated.


    Thank you

    Jason

    I can't do since Director 11, but you can do with applescript.

    In the AppleScript ScriptEditor, paste the following code, and then save it as an application (like "Mount.app") in the same folder as the projector.

    Then the Director, to write the volume path and the password

    That is to say. AFP://username:password@VolumePath/sharename

    in a text file (like "Mount.txt")

    Then use the command open the Director to turn up the volume

    Open _movie.path & "Mount.txt" with _movie.path & 'Mount.app '.

    -applescript below

    on open (dittos)

    the value volume to readFile (dittos as text)

      if (volume is "") then

    return false

    end if

    VR;

    Turn up volume

    Return true

      on error

    return false

    end try

    Open end

    on readFile (theFileName)

    Try

    the value theFileRef to (open access file theFileName)

      on error

    return ""

      end try

    Try

    game theText to (read theFileRef)

      on error

    game of theText to «»

      end try

    Close access theFileRef

    Return Letexte

    readFile end
