    LAN Connection via Solid Explorer requires Win10 password


    I'm trying to setup a LAN connection from my android phone to my pc via solid explorer. The setup process requires my username and password, so I opened a command prompt to see what my windows user name is, and entered that, the password though is the problem.

    I tried entering my windows live password but that failed and also tried the pin but also a fail. Where can I go in Windows to see what the current password is?

    Don't think you can. I have a software intended for technicians that will remove the password but won't/can't display it.

    Do you have to enter a password to log into Windows? That's probably what the program wants. A PIN can be assigned for the login but it is associated with the password and won't work on other things

    I have a program on church computer I need to uninstall but the user forgot her password, has to use the PIN and can't use it for the uninstall.

    Is the setup using a Direct Wireless connection or working through the Router's Wireless/Wi-Fi?

    So I tried those instructions, but like a user in the comments, Had to select SMB 1.0 to get it to finish set-up, but then I get a network error.
