cant find password for connecting to shared computer

I'm attempting to log onto a shared computer & get the prompt "enter your name & password for the server xxx". I have tried entering the user password for both computers, doesn't work. At this point I have no idea what the password is or where to find it. Help appreciated!


iMac, macOS 10.12

Niles, check keychain access application in your utilities folder. A couple of things I would try. Repair permissions of your keychain. Hopefully you can find your password there. Look for type network password.


I hope this helps.
