Hi, To enable password Protected File Sharing, please turn off Simple File Sharing to test the issue. For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft article: Networking home computers running different versions of Windows Does it work? Regards,Arthur Li - MSFT

hi, u gave me the answer but it will ask for one time, but it should ask password evertime when i want to access the same system

By design, operating system records the correct password to avoid typing the password again and again. Arthur Li - MSFT
