I've been running my local (wired) network with password protected sharing turned off.
To reduce the risk of infection I've now turned it on on all the pc's.
The result is that I am now unable to access any of the machines on the network (running windows 10 or 11)
I need to input the username and password
However using whoami locally to get the username, and entering the pin as the password I get
"the username or password is incorrect"
trying to access another machine I get "\XXXXX is not accessible. ... etc."
Is there a simple way I can turn on machine A and determine what credentials are required to access it from another PC via the network?

2025-03-17T22:39:15+00:00 Microsoft really needs to have a well-tested procedure with well written documentation on exactly how to share files between computers that are on the same network, owned by the same person, For a billion dollar company to have such a patchwork system in place is malpractice and frankly should constitute negligence. I have wasted so many hours over the years dealing with this issue of file sharing I feel I should get a refund for any part of my computer purchase that went for the Windows OS.
