Solve : Computer asking for a password?

Answer»

I have a new computer added to my working network all other computers are working fine The new computer shows the network but when to connect to another computer on the network it ask for a user a name and PASSWORD. None of the other computers pave passwords. All the others connect without a password. What am I doing wrong network settings are all the same on each computer?Windows 7 will default to passwords. But your can change that.
Here is a post something like yours.

In a nutshell nit says:

Make sure the Windows 7 Workgroup Name is the same as the Vista and XP computers.
And in Windows 7 > Click Start > Control PANEL > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center >
"Change ADVANCED Sharing Settings" in upper left-hand corner >
Turn on:
Network discovery
File and Printer Sharing
You choice for the other Options there: Password, Encryption, etc..
Read the INFO with each of the options...
That was about XP and Windows 7, but it also works whenever you WANT Windows 7 to ignore the default stuff for local network.

Does this help any?
IMHO, you should use passwords. But the choice is yours.
