Network Credentials

What accounts are listed by the command net user? It should list Guest - or does it use the German spelling?

How about trying net user Gast /active:yes & net user Gast /active:no for those commands if my schoolboy German serves me well?

See also my post at https://www.tenforums.com/general-sup...t-account.html when someone replies.

Something has changed with using "Gast" instead of "Guest".

I dont know what I have done exactly, but it seems that your tips helped.
I can change it now again to disable.

But now one question remains.
What or who is this "WmsControl"-account???


I dont have this entry on my second Desktop-PC.

BTW: What I have done.
I unchecked "Benutzer müssen Benutzername und Kennwort eingeben" (Users have to enter user name and password) & confirmed with "Übernehmen" (Accept).
After a "Sign Out" & "Log In" I was able to turn off and save the password protection.. finally.. :)
I re-checked "Benutzer müssen Benutzername und Kennwort eingeben" (Users have to enter user name and password) and password protection setting now works again as it should.

What a mess..

Did I mention that I dont like Windows???

Thx, so far ..

Maybe that account something to do with Windows Multipoint Server - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_MultiPoint_Server Maybe you have this software installed? Best to create a new thread if you want to follow this up.

Ok. I'll find out.

Thx so far..

After beating my head on my desk to figure out why my machine wouldn't connect to network shares, I found out the reason.

For some reason, my network location changed to Public. I changed it back to Private and I could connect to my mapped drives and other network shares without the network authentication box popping up. Just FYI if anyone tried the other solutions and they didn't work like I did.

I'm using Windows 10 so I did the following:

Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet > clicked HomeGroup and let it connect to the private homegroup.

After that, all drives were accessible again!

I have the same problem want me to enter credentials , i have no password on either machine.

I had the same problem and I was looking here because I forgot how to take care of this. And then I found it and it's very simple. Just go to your HomeGroup settings - Change advanced sharing settings - Turn off password protected sharing.
