I have a laptop and a PC linked together by a WiFi router and I want to be able to access and copy files, from one another but I cannot access either one, because it is asking for a user name and password. I have not set any username or password on both the PC and the laptop and I don't know what to do.
I use Windows 7 x 64 on both of them.

Network Sharing on Windows 7
If you are using a Windows 7 x64 PC, the way to resolve this is, you need to start browsing for your Control Panel – Network and Internet – Network and Sharing center; then go to Change Advance Sharing Settings page; then browse for password protecting sharing; then you will have the option to turn the password on and off.

Network Sharing on Windows 7
Hi,
This feature might set to password protected in 1 of your 2 computers. This either in your personal computer or your laptop. But don't worry too much, I have instructions below that will fix this problem. A step by step guide and pretty straight forward.Â
-
Go to Start then click Control Panel.
-
Look for Network and Internet and click it.
-
Click on Network and Sharing Center.
-
In the left panel, click on Change Advanced Sharing Settings.
-
Scroll down a bit and look for Password Protected Sharing.
-
Turn it off and do it in the other computer too.
