[Klug-general] Baffled again - samba networking

[Michael E. Rentell]

Good morning all,
Another knotty problem. For reasons I won't bore you with I've switched 
from Mandriva/PCLOS to Linux Mint for both my home network (2 PCs wired 
through a router).

I've never used Microsoft networking and samba before (previously nfs) 
so I'm way outa my depth here as that's all the networking on offer it 
seems.

When ever I try and 'see' files on the MAIN machine (I have 'shared' 
them) from the BACKUP machine I get a password demand. As this is a 
ubuntu derivative there is only the one password for me and that doesn't 
work.

How do I find out what password it requires?

I'm sure this is a trivial problem, but only for those who 'just know'. 
And I don't.

Any ideas would be welcome.
