First of all, sorry for my bad English, as it isn't my primary language.



I have a home network with my Ubuntu box, a Windows XP box (sister's laptop) and a Windows 7 box (mother's PC). Never had a mixed network; with some effort I could install Samba and see the PCs (and be seen for them).



All Windows PCs can access Ubuntu, create and delete files and folders in the shared folders like a charm, and I can do the same with the Windows XP PC. From Ubuntu to Windows 7, however, I can't; a window requesting credentials appears, but there's nothing password-protected accounts in Windows 7. There's just one user account on that computer, without password.



How can I access this computer?

If you want to access the Windows 7 computer without a password?






I suggest you disable "Password protected sharing" on the Windows 7 computer, and then specially allow Guest account to access the shared components.






To turn off Password Protected Sharing:




  1. Click Start, enter "Network and Sharing Center" in the Start Search box .

  2. Click "Change advanced sharing settings" in the left pane.

  3. Make sure that "Password protected sharing" is turned off.
