Windows 10: Password-less file sharing started asking for password since last update - no credentials...

Hello,I have computer A, which is my main personal computer and I have computer B which is on the living room. I shared folder F from computer A without passwords and computer B had access to it for some time.Since a few days ago, it started asking for passwords to access folder F on computer B, even though I explicity set no passwords required on advanced sharing settings on computer A.I saw some people complaining about the same issue since a week ago, and tried enabling insecure logons on LanMan Workstation, but that didn't work either.In any case, I decided to type the password.

Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

 

Clear netowkr share password cache in windows vista?

I accidentally logged into my servers WWW share with the wrong credentials. With "remember my password" checked. It tries to log me in with those credentials and, as it should, fails.

How do I erase the cache so I can have a chance to put the _right_ password in?

How can I find the password for my Windows 10 laptop?

I found a solution to my problem. What I did was:

1. Open Network & Sharing Center on the laptop.
2. Click "Change advanced sharing settings"
3. Expand the "All Networks" item.
4. Change "Password protected sharing" from On to Off.

Now when I click my laptop name in File Explorer > Networks, it just shows my shared folder without asking for a network credentials password. This is how it used to work before.

Hope this helps others,
