Title: Cannot map network drive windows network security requires password
Post by: Fixitpcs on January 20, 2014, 11:41:45 PM

Having a nightmare with this Nas. Having set it up for a client a couple months back, open access, one share for document storage on a win 7 workgroup, the office experienced a powercut. The share is now not accessible, I have recovered the data, wiped the hdds (raid1) and redone the job, but still cannot map the share to the network. I keep getting windows 7 network security prompt to enter username an password! As I remember there wasn't one as it's set for open access, it was doing the same directly after the powercut so what has hanged and how do I fix it?! Is it a router problem- everything's been rebooted??!

Hi,
When you say open access on the network, it sounds like there is no Homegroup setup, I am not sure exactly what your network consists of as far as the users on the NAS are concerned.  Do you have users with various rights (assuming read/write) assigned to your shared folders?  If so, try using the admin login or one of the users with full admin privileges and save it if you can login.  You might check the credentials manager on one of the problem machines to see if everything looks right there.  Sorry if this all sounds confused, it's only because I am. 
One other thought, when you wiped everything and reset, did you use a saved configuration file?  This can cause problems too.
