DUO V2 Newbie: unauthorized access to shares
I have a ReadyNAS Duo V2 up and running. Firmware is Raidator 5.3.7. This is a small office installation with multiple PCs on the LAN. I have added several shares and granted/restricted access to shares successfully except for one issue:
One PC who is signed on as "KARYN" can see all shares even though I do not have KARYN defined as a user under the Security tab on the dashboard. These shares DO NOT have everyone checked. Only specific users are checked. I believe what has happened is that I, "JEFF", tried to access the shares from KARYN's PC. The screen came up to sign on to the ReadyNAS and I entered JEFF's user id and password... and told it to remember my information. Is it possible that this PC has access to the shares via JEFF's authorizations? How do I remove JEFF's authorizations to shares from KARYN's PC?
I have rebooted the offending PC as well as the ReadyNAS device. Nothing seems to make a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(sorry, I don't have an English Windows version so my translation might be a little odd) - Thanks Krokstadelven, that did it. I selected user KARYN and then Manage My Network Passwords. There I saw JEFFs entry for the NAS.
I removed it and rebooted the PC and now KARYN does not have access to the NAS.
Thank you for your quick reply.
