Basically I want to make two folders on my ocmputer, one shared with everyone and one only shared with a password, but I can’t even get to either of because whenever I click that computer in the networ it asks for a fckng password, I didn’t set one, I’ve tried everything. What do I do.

“I didn’t set one”

Try setting a PW on the master entrance, then try what you are doing again.

I have, I’ve tried every single possible combination. I’ve also set the user account on that computer to a different one and it still doesn’t work. It says unknown username or bad password, even though that is the account for that PC

For some reason I can access the old computer just fine from the new one without a password promt. this is driving me nuts!
