Password problem
An 'IT' guy did some work at the house. Before he started, my laptop and my wife's desktop were happily in a homegroup. IT guy introduced a newly configured additional laptop for my wife. In the process, he did not use the homegroup but another form of networking between my wife's existing desktop and new laptop and consequently blew off my wife's homegroup participation. Although previously I've never had a password between my laptop and her desktop other than possibly during the initial setup, he was insistent on the need for same between her desktop and laptop.
The result--when attempting to connect via file explorer from her desktop to the laptop and prompted for a password, whether I enter her desktop or laptop password the connection is disallowed. Needless to say the 'IT' guy is useless.
Is there a way to nuke whatever connection exists between the two machines and start over so as to gain access between my wife's desktop and laptop?
Btw, even though my laptop appears to be the only machine still in the homegroup, I can still view files on either of her machines.
