Keeps Asking for Password on Boot

W

W. Watson

I've had some ethernet connection problems where one computer cannot see the other. I
decided to revisit the file sharing, and fired in the course of it got into some
connection wizard. It asked me about connected users, Admin vs others. Whatever I did
now seems to produce a message when I get to the boot userid/password screen for
w2000. It says something like "password wrong. Click OK." I click OK and enter my
password. All is well. How do I get rid of this extraneous message?

Your post is too vague to allow an analysis of your problem.
Please make it as detailed and precise as your trailer, e.g.
- What operating system(s) do the various machines run?
- What accounts do you use when logging on to these PCs?
- What is the exact error message?
- How exactly are you trying to connect to shared folders?
