| | Vista Backup Needs Password To Access Network Drive Hello: I am logged on as adminsitrator and am trying to configure Vista's native backup utility to backup to an attached storage drive on a two PC network. I can find and access drive fully via Windows Explorer with no issues. When configuring backup, after selecting network drive I am challenged to enter a user name and password. I do not have a password associated with my admin account. I have also tried with (i) UAC turned off, and (ii) specifically launching backup in "Administrator" mode, but am still being challenged. Can someone please explain this challenge, and how to turn it off or satisfy it? Thank you for your time and expertise. -- Rob |
