Trouble with Samba

rcayot
rcayot over 5 years ago

I am trying to access a windows share from my RPi 4.  I followed the instructions here:https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/samba.md

 

i think allwas well, but when I try to mount the share, I get asked for a password.  The only trouble is that my Windows user account, which is also administrator has no password!

 

i tried creating a pw to see if that would work, and Windows told me it could not create a pw!

 

my real question is, does the pw prompt mean I have successfully queried the Windows pc?  If so, I gues my issue is with windoze and not samba.

 

thanks for any help.

    To the last question, Yes to accessing the share. Unless you need security for some reason, I would follow this: https://websiteforstudents.com/create-shares-everyone-full-access-windows-10-server/

    My guess would be the user id is not ADMIN, but maybe Guest which is builtin with very little authority...
