How do I access a shared folder using credentials other than the ones I logged in with?

Solution 1:

What you need to do is to have the shared folder mapped on each computer, which allows you to use different credentials.

In My Computer, click on Tools (hidden by default, show by pressing ALT), Map Network Drive, and there, type in the path for the drive and underneath, click on "Connect using different credentials"

Good luck!

EDIT:

For the credentials to be accepted the correct format is for the username is:

\\SERVERNAME\username

Then just the normal password for the account.

Solution 2:

In Win7. While accessing Shared Folder with different credential still FAILED and DENIED even using correct USERNAME and appropriate password, make sure your 'Credential Manager' is free from inappropriate cached.

Thank you. :)
