I have two systems, say A and B, and I used to access several shares on
A from the other computer B.
Now I changed my password on computer A (the one exporting the shares)
and since then I can't access the shares any longer from B. B sees the A
on the network, but when I try to open it, I get an "not accessible"
error.

Strange enough XP doesn't even ask me to reenter my user id and pwd, it
immediately reports \\A is not accessible.... How can I trigger I am
asked me for the credentials again, so that I get a chance to enter the
new pwd?

Click to expand...

On Computer B, go to Control Panel > User Accounts, click your
account, and click "Manage my network passwords". Remove all stored
user names and passwords for Computer A.
