I just got a Windows 10 laptop and it saw the WiFi from my AT&amp;T router so it got on the Internet fine. &nbsp;But I notice that it also sees my desktop computer there, which has a CAT5 cable going into theAT&amp;T router, so I guess that puts the desktop machine on the same network as the WiFi devices connecting to the router. &nbsp;But if I click the desktop computer icon on the new laptop, &nbsp;it asks for &nbsp;a username and password to connect. It's been years since the desktop was set up and I don't know the username and password. &nbsp;Is there a way I can get this from the desktop machine, itself, which I can log onto from the keyboard as an Admin user?<br />

Thanks

Finding network username and password for a machine.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
