Enter Network Credentials...what username/password do I enter??

[ashleyquick]

I created a shared folder on a Windows 7 laptop on my network and I'm trying to connect to it with this Windows 10 laptop. I am being prompted to enter a un/pw and have no idea what to enter. The account on the Windows 7 laptop doesn't have a password.

Turn off password protected sharing on the Windows 7 computer.

Control Panel, Network and Internet, View network status and tasks.
Click on Change advanced sharing settings on left.
Scroll to the bottom and select Turn off password protected sharing

See if you can access it now.
