Today I'm going to show you how to turn off password protected sharing on a Windows 8 computer.
We first start off by going to the control panel.
Then to Network and Internet.
Then Network and Sharing Center.
On the left you'll see Change advanced sharing settings. Go to that.
At the bottom, you'll find All Networks.
Scroll to the bottom and select "Turn off password protected sharing"
This will allow other computers on your network to access this computer without a password or any other information.
This is useful in a home network where you just want to share files, and you don't want to mess around with any of that stuff.
I also recommend turning on all the others things to allow network discovery and allow files to be accessed by another computer.
Thank you for watching.
