    Network Passwords question


    Hi all, have googled this question and nothing seems to work, any help please.

    My win 7 laptop doesn't seem to take any Network password I use.
    I have connected a printer to my main computer using Win 10 which works well.
    Win 7 when using add a printer I browse and it finds the computer and needs the
    Network password to proceed, nothing I use works.

    Comment, I have three computers in my home and am the only user and wonder
    if there is a way to eliminate the passwords for these types of situations. I have a
    PIN to use the Win 10 and also the Win 7's, as far as I'm concerned I don't need
    any other passwords so is there a way to eliminate.

    Many thanks for any suggestions.

    "Change advanced sharing options" > private - network discovery=turned on - file and printer sharing=turned on.
    After setting this up I still couldn't use password.
    Under "all networks" checked the last box that mentioned "turn off password protected sharing.
    At least now it doesn't ask for password.
    I googled the error message and found this site: Please Wait... | Cloudflare
    I read and went through their options and what worked was the last item that refers to the registry change. DWORD-32 bit Value.
    I can now access my printer from my laptop. (i'm not going to ask why, lol)
    Many thanks for your response,,
