I have windows 8.1 and its tied to my Microsoft login. I only vaguely remember setting this option up during the installation of windows. When I try to use these credentials to connect to my network share I cannot login.
E.G. \\computerName\c$
It will not accept my credentials. When I run whoami at the command line I see a different account. I don't recall ever setting up this other account.
whoami = domain\me (password unknown if I ever even set one up…)
Windows Login = me@email.com (password known, does not work with RDP)
What do I need to do in order to login to the network share?
Best Answer
You must use
MicrosoftAccount\me@email.com(this MicrosoftAccount prefix is important) as username. Now enter your Microsoft account password into the password box.
