How to disable "Enter Network Credentials"

I wish to do away with this message which asks for a User/Pass that (afaik) doesn't exist.
I've followed these instructions (on both machines running Win10)

• Go to Control Panel.
• Go to Network & Sharing Center.
• Click on Advanced Settings.
• Go to All network Option.
• Then click on Turn Off Password Protected Sharing.

But the message does not go away, and I cannot connect.
Thanks not any help.

Create a local Admin account on each computer. It must have the same username and password on each one. Write its password down somewhere secure.

Use that username & password when you are challenged for network credentials.
- You will not be challenged again after that one time.
- You do not need to log in to that new admin account.
- You will still be able to use password-protected sharing and all other normal network facilities.

Wow that worked. I have seen so many posts of people struggling to make even the most simple task of seeing another computer work. Thank you!
