network password

[Eric M]

I am attempting to network (wireless) two computers and I
want to share documents. I have installed all the
software and followed all the steps to setup the network.
The problem I am having is When I want to share files I
go into "My Computer" then "my network places" then "
view workgroup computers" when I double click the main
computer Icon it asks for a password but I have no
password and I am not clear what password I am to enter.

Run the Network Setup Wizard to fully enable file sharing:
