How can I change the user name under which I am currently logged in to my local network share under Windows 10 Pro 1903? Either I am blind or I don't see a corresponding option for that.
Scenario:
- I am accessing some local network share (namely
\\192.168.1.1\
), my home NAS. - Windows asks me for a login and password, which I provide and which are correct / accepted.
- Six out of seven folders / network shares are accessible to all users assigned to this NAS, so I can browse them without any problems. I am accessing 7th share, accessible only by admins.
- Windows asks me to provide network credentials again, but shows a different dialog window:
How can I change a user name in that dialog (namely to admin
)? User name field is not editable and the More choices button is disabled.
I don't know if that matters here, but whenever I click anywhere within that dialog with my mouse, it gets frozen for about 10-30 seconds.
Side note: I have started using Windows 10 Pro for past five hours, so this is something new to me.
For years I've been using Windows 7 Home with the very same home network / NAS and I had absolutely no problems. Whenever access was denied and new credentials were expected, I was always presented with a dialog where both user name and password were editable.
