You should try editing your posts ..... Not posting 3 times when it could have been one ....

im not trying to connect to the router or the internet. I am sitting on a computer and through windows explorer i am trying to get to files on another computer, but there is a password needed. I have gotten rid of the password before, but i forgot how. sorry if i was confusing.

I was simply letting him know, He doesn't need to keep adding new posts when he could just edit the existing one.

Nope, he wants to get rid of the password.

 

Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts

 

Past that into windows explorer.

Then click remove password (2nd option).

 

EDIT: The other option is to share the folder that you want to use, or make a workgroup.

I really didn't mean for it to rude, If you took it that way then there isn't much I can do about that...

Maybe this helps

Wait sorry, thats not what i was looking for. Sorry im being confusing.

 

Here is my path. 

 

Windows Explorer > Network > (Computer on Network)

 

and i get a message asking me for credentials and to type in a password. But i dont have to do that for any of the other computers. 

So how do i allow my computer to access the other one. 

 

(I have control over both computers)

Okay this is perfect. I have DONE this, and the problem i have is that when i go to connect to that folder to map it as a network drive, my computer wont allow me to get through. 

[Blade of Grass]

Wait, you're trying to make a network drive? That's completely different than sharing a drive. 

 

Right click on network in windows explorer 

Then fill out the location of the folder (basically \\*computer name*\path)

Of course you need permissions to do this.

EDIT: Though if you want access to folder/files and less of a hassle, just use a Workgroup/Homegroup

I have found a way. 
1. Click Start 
2. Under you user picture, right click Network 
3. Choose properties (this opens Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center) 
4. Click Choose homegroup and sharing options in the lower list (this opens Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Homegroup) 
5. Click Change advanced sharing settings... (this opens Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings) 
6. The setting right before the last one is: Password protected sharing! 
7. Choose Turn off password protected sharing

I forget to do that, I'm sure it'll be fine so long as no one takes the piss.
