CIFS password noob question

[reblut]

I want to make a share with a password protected.

I want to access from my window pc with \\readynas\share url type from the run menu.

I created a share and added a password but when I do call the \\readynas\share url it ask for a user and password, I didn't know the username so I used the share name and entered the password I set but that didn't work. I tried every possible solution (with root user).

Help button doesn't help at all, it just explain what is obvious.

Any insight will be gratefull.
