Password asked when I access a network drive

1

I can't access network drive. It always asked the password although I have deactivated the password.

I've already restart my PC, but it still, I can't access it. What's wrong?

Normal network. I access \\computername\ and it asks for password. The computer used to have password but not anymore. This morning it works and now it doesn't.

The other computer that have accessed it once can access it.

2Where is the network drive located at ? What operating systems are involved? What kind of network ? A small workgroup, a windows domain? Beeing asked for credentials when trying to access ressources of a remote machine is perfectly normal in most cases. Give some more information. – Jannis Alexakis – 2013-04-11T09:51:56.177

I use Windows 7, a small workgroup – Danu Rush – 2013-04-11T10:05:46.353

I am assuming that both PCs use Windows 7.

You have to deactivate password protected sharing, like it is described here, and you have to make sure that you have the exact same users with the exact same passwords on both machines.
