    Lost password, Homegroup inaccessible after W10 upgrade..what to do?


    I upgraded two networked computers at home to Windows 10 successfully, but to access my network, I need the Homegroup password, which [like a dope] I have lost.

    I'm not a network wiz by any means so I have no idea how to get around this. Can I somehow just delete my present Homegroup and start from scratch again? Will setting up a new connection/network get around the existence of the old one?

    Any tips or suggestions gratefully accepted...

    If you download and use Hiren v9.x Boot-CD you can delete the password in the register and start W10 without (I hope) as this worked for me in all Windows versions up to 8.
