I have a network share that I got to often. It used to prompt me in windows 7 for a user name and password. It no longer prompts me and kicks a message Windows cannot access \\TOWER\Share you do not have permission. Some how bad information was entered and saved in Windows 7 somewhere?

How can I get windows 7 to prompt me again so I can enter a new user name and password? Or How can I get rid of the bad auto logon information that is being stored somewhere in Win7?

This share is on my NAS so I am the admin. The machine has full access rights configured on my NAS. Nothing has changed on my NAS.

Thank you,

Jim

I have removed and re-added everything in the Credential Manager. Still the same issue. There seems to be more then just Credentials.
 
If you stop the sharing and then recreate the Share, does that help? As well as any Share Permissions have you looked at the actual NTFS access permissions for the drive, folder, or files concerned?
