How to Access Files on Another Computer Windows 10: Enter Network Password

When trying to access files on another computer in a Windows 10 network, you may encounter a prompt to enter a network password. This can be a security measure to ensure only authorized users can access shared files. Below are steps to access files on another computer in Windows 10:

  1. Ensure both computers are connected to the same network.
  2. On the computer you want to access files from, open File Explorer and type in the network path of the other computer. (e.g., \\ComputerName)
  3. You may be prompted to enter a username and password. This is where you enter the credentials of an account on the remote computer that has permissions to access the shared files.
  4. If you don't have the credentials, you can ask the owner of the other computer to create a new user account for you with the necessary permissions.

By following these steps, you should be able to access files on another computer in a Windows 10 network even if a network password is required.
