ill try and explain this the best i can...

 

i recently got a NAS, when i go to Network in windows and click on the NAS its asks for a username and password, i went in as guest to try it out, all works fine. it i open up network agian and click on the NAS no password is required, it just logs right back in. now my issue how do i logout and get it to prompt me for a username and password again so i can login as the admin? so then i can read and write files, and yea i know i can access it through the browser but, want to do it though windows network

You'll have to go through the Windows Credentials manager.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

The Credentials manager is how Windows remembers usernames and passwords.

2 things, you could have restarted your computer to see for yourself by now.  (Why are people afraid to restart their computer)

Did your computer prompt you to restart?

So you've had a continuous connection and you expect the computer to just notice the connection is different?

i expect once i said remove, it should remove it without  a restart, shouldnt be that hard, really. unless it said it needed a restart, anyway i should of just waited that extra hour before posting as i thought the restart fixed it i think, thanks anyway

Its not the restart that fixed it, it was the fact that you changed the credential while you was accessing the device.  Its like logging out of Amazon right after you click the "Buy Now" button and it is processing your order.  There is no telling what it will do.
