I have 2 computers connected wirelessly. One uses Windows 10 and I upgraded the 2nd one from Windows 7 to Windows 10 yesterday. Now I cannot connect to the 2nd computer and keep receiving a message to enter my credential password. I found the Windows credentials in the user group but the pw is ****,.
How can I find my computer credentials?

Hi Mike,

On the computer you just upgraded to Windows 10:
  • In search box type Control Panel then press Enter
  • View by: Small icons | Select User Accounts
  • In the left pane click on Manage your credentials
  • This will display a list of items you require a password for. Click on the one you need to view password of.
  • Next to the **** you will see a hyperlink Show | Click on this
  • You will be prompted for your Microsoft Account password (the one you logon on with). After entering that and clicking OK the **** will change to text so you can see the actual password. When you are sure you have it to memory, click the Hide hyperlink to return to ****

Happy Computing.
