How to fix error error-connected-other-password-default in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Open Credential Manager as described in the previous fix. Remove any saved credentials for the network resource. This ensures Windows doesn't use a cached default password.
2. 2 Check the network share's permissions: on the host computer, ensure that the share is not set to 'Everyone' with read-only access if you need write access. You may need to adjust sharing settings.
3. 3 Open Command Prompt as administrator and run 'net use * /delete' to clear all connections. Then reconnect using the 'net use' command with explicit credentials, even if the share allows guest access. This forces Windows to use the provided credentials.
4. 4 If the share is on a workgroup, ensure that the 'Guest' account is disabled on the host. You can do this by running 'net user guest /active:no' on the host computer. This prevents Windows from using guest credentials.
5. 5 If you're on a domain, check with your IT admin if there are policies that force guest access.
