Windows HomeGroup Password Issue

Hi I've setup my old Q6660 system to have all the redundant HD's in the house and attached it to the house internet via a wifi dongle. I created a homegroup on my PC, and it can see the Q6660 computer as the "NAS" the Nas has a selected folder for sharing called "Dumping" and permissions have been set, yet when I try to connect via my machine, I get told the username or password is incorrect, even though I know 100% it is!

 

I'm scratching my head on this one, I'm learning basic networking and this is a bit of a hands-on experience.  Little lost.

 

 

PC - NZXT H510 Elite, Ryzen 5600, 16GB DDR3200 2x8GB, EVGA 3070 FTW3 Ultra, Asus VG278HQ 165hz,

 

Mac - 1.4ghz i5, 4GB DDR3 1600mhz, Intel HD 5000.  x2

 

Endlessly wishing for a BBQ in space.
