Stored Passwords

[Guest]

We are attempting to access a server in a workgroup and everytime we access
this server we automatically receive a message that states access has been
denied. Usually, we are prompted for username and password, but not now. We
checked "Managed Passwords" and it remains empty. Are there any other
locations for stored usernames and passwords that might be used when we make
this connection?


Thanks in advance.

Hmm. Check the security log on the server for logon failures that occur at
the time this happens to see what user account is being used and the reason
the logon fails. Also if you are logged onto the client computer with a user
account that exists on the server but has a different password you will get
the access denied message. You could also try net use command to see what
happens as in net use * \\servername\sharename /u:username password . A
mapped drive can also have persistent stored credentials and if the password
changed that could also cause a problem. If you have nay mapped drives for
that server try deleting them to see if that helps.
