piCore Player / SAMBA & Windows 10 - Password permission denied

[Operajulian]

I have an Rpi3+ all successfully set up with a Allo Boss Dac and a USB HDD with all the music files. ( Sounds great ).
Even have it also "playing" to two Airport Express, when I want to.

Trying to get the Windows 10 PC to "see" the files on the USB HDD via SAMBA.
I have all that set up as per the piCore Player Documentation.
I can see the drive on my MacBook and successfully enter the user "tc" and the password that I set.

BUT same does not work on the Windows PC.
I have SMB check boxes ticked etc etc
I assume I have the correct path address as I get the the Enter Network Credentials for user and password.
No matter I enter the saved password - no access " The user name or password is incorrect".
Yet the same work on the MacBook ?

Any ideas for the next thing to try ?
Much appreciated,
Julian

Make sure you set the workgroup to match your windows machine. Windows is very very picky.

I do have different workgroup names for pCP's SAMBA and Windows and I'm able to access the files from Windows.
I vaguely remember I had the same error initially and I think I had to configure something in addition in pCP. Unfortunately I don't remember what this was (and currently I don't have access to the system).

Thanks Paul for the suggestion. I double checked - it's the same workgroup name on both the Picore Samba settings and the Windows PC.
Still no success.

At someone else's suggestion I did download WinSCP and that can at least transfer music files from the PC to the Raspberry Pi HDD.

Take care - for the most part I hugely amazed at how this all works - I am from an era where vinyl records were placed on a gramophone turntable in the pride of place Living Room.

Aha

I solved the problem by changing a registry key. According to another web search dealing with Raspian,
there is a registry key that controls what mode of authentication and session security to be used for network logons.
Loaded registry Editor:-

When down the entries and in -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa

Set

LmCompatibilityLevel

at least to three (3)

Rebooted the Windows PC and when I clicked on the network folder it finally accepted my Picore/Samba/"tc" password !

Hurrah - thanks everyone.

Hi everyone,

I've the same problem.
I was able to enter the password once - now the error message is displayed.

error Code: 0x80070035
The network path was not found.


However, I cannot find the entry LmCompatibilityLevel in the Registry editor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa


I also did I check the name of the WORKGROUP

Did you remove the mistaken space in "Contro l"?

Win 10 Pro -up to date.

I set up a new pCP card last night and added SAMBA, password accepted in Windows without problem.

If it's any consolation the registry path above doesn't exist for me either, with or without the space in control.

Hello everybody,
thank you for the answers.

I searched without spaces in the Registry Editor "…Control\Lsa"

--

Here are some more Details

In the Pi input mask I entered:
LMS Share Name: PiCorePlayer_Toshiba

When I try to connect the Network address in Windows:
\\PiCorePlayer\PiCorePlayer_Toshiba


Error message (translated):
Problems found
"PiCorePlayer" available, "PiCorePlayer_Toshiba" was not found.
