Default Network Passwords

I recently bought a new computer and setup a newtwork using Linksys wireless router and my older computer (both have vista home premium). It seems to work fine, when I go to networking both computers show up,but when I use Windows Live One Care and try to back-up files to the other computer it wants me to give it a Username and PW. What username and PW does it want?

Did you read the entire post? I don't think that the OP wants the password for the router...
It most likely needs an account from the computer to are trying to access files from (read access)

Default Re: Network Passwords

Thru OneCare you should input the username and password for the other PC. If it doesnt have a that then there are issues. There should at least be a user name.

Type that in and if there is no pass dont input a pass.
