Failure Phenomenon:
Win7 system, users set the shared folder after the other computer access always prompts the user name and password, in the network and Sharing Center---Advanced sharing settings---Password protected sharing, select Turn off password protection sharing, and then save the changes and view the password protected sharing settings again. Enable password protection sharing.
Reason Analysis:
After viewing the Guest account has been opened after the password is set, only the Guest account password is empty "password protected sharing" can be closed.
Solution:
1, the user account to enable the Guest account default is no password, if the Guest account is set password will show "password protection", then "password protected sharing" function can not be closed;
2, Win7 Professional Edition and the flagship edition, you can open the Computer Management---Local Users and groups, find the Guest account, right-click the "Set password"---in the pop-up new password, Confirm Password window do not enter any characters, directly hit the return or point to determine, the password can be emptied, When the Guest account is disabled and enabled, the account no longer displays password protection;
3, Win7 Family and the family of the advanced edition, because there is no local users and groups, you can only use the "net User" command to empty the password, first run "CMD" as an administrator to open a command prompt window, input net user Guest "" (after the guest is double quotes) Then you can hit enter.
Password-protected sharing cannot be turned off under the Win7 system because the Guest account is password protected, the user needs to cancel the login password for the Guest account before you turn off password-protected sharing.
