Accessing a Network share with different credentials

4

I am trying to access a network share in my workgroup with different credentials. The user am trying to login in has no password. So how do I log in ?

I may be miss spelling the username, if I am allowed to use a blank password.

3Try <ipdaddress>\username and then press Enter where IP address is the IP address of the machine with the account you authenticating with no password - I assume this account is defined on that machine - so it's the "different" credential you're referring to. That "different" credential also need SHARE permissions and NTFS folder level permissions as well on the SHARE so be sure to confirm that's all set as well. – Pimp Juice IT – 2015-11-15T03:14:22.670

@PimpJuiceIT Great!! After hours of googling around, trials and errors, reading Microsoft's bu***t, etc, I finally stumble upon your comment... You are my hero of the day! If you'd like to put that comment into an answer (valuable for Windows 10 Entreprise) I'll be so glad and happy to vote for it. Also other people may find an answer easier to read than a comment. thx again! – toesslab – 2018-03-09T17:38:13.630

First: run cmd (as administrator) and type cmdkey /delete:your-Network-Share

Second: control panel => network and sharing center => change advance sharing setting > All network > turn off password protected sharing > save changes

Last step: open your-network-share again.
