It's asking for credentials to access the share. It's assuming that you want to use your current windows login (which is apparently admin).
Are you using "user" security mode? If not, you should switch to that.
Assuming you are set up for user security mode, then
You could first click on the CIFS icon next to the share, and check that "allow guest access" is enabled.
However, guest access (also called anonymous access) is something that Microsoft has been tightening up on.
A more robust approach is to enter credentials for NAS-5D-83-DB in the Windows Credential Manager. You can create a user on the NAS (and use that username/password), or you could just use the admin credentials. Once you do that, the PC will use automatically use that username/password whenever you access the NAS.
There's a brief guide on how to get into the credentials manager here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026814/windows-accessing-credential-manager You want to enter a "windows" credential for this.
Hi StephenB,
Attached is the screen shot from Windows Expolor and Share Listing. As you can see I have MyFile and Media show up in my network, when I click on MyFile, it ask me for password. When I click on Media, it did not ask for password. I set up MyFile just like Media in Share Listing. I just don't know why it keep asking me password for MyFile.

Thank you very much, StephenB. I added a user account in NAS, now everything is working perfectly!
