Hello, I work for a small company we have about 10 computers on our LAN, and Friday before I left I changed my password on my pc, and when I logged on this morning I could not get into the folder I usually do, so I went to our computer we use for the server which is just Windows XP pro, and logged on there and then I changed my password on that computer to the same password as my PC, but still no luck, not sure what else to try? Thank you.
 
This is a 100 to 1 shot, you don't work for the same company as in this post?

lol yeah I do work for the company, I am actually doing this for the owner of the company, I usually have no problem with all the folders we share here but it just won't let me have access to any of the folders since I changed my password, I been trying it all morning yesterday and today and no luck, I even removed my username all together and put it back in but it will not work, and we are using xp pro so I made sure the password on my computer is the same as the front and added myself to the permission list and security list, but it won't let me in, the only two folders I can get in are the ones I give everyone access too, so I'm not sure what happened.
