Can't connect WDTV SMP to my iMac

On my TV, I select videos (same for music & pics), then shared content over network; it detects my computer but then, and this is the issue , it asks me to enter user/password; no matter what i enter (my admin iMac login was the first choice), it keeps on saying wrong username/password. And I’m stuck there.

Any help appreciated as I’m really frustrated.

 

Thanks in advance!


 

The first post of the link below explains how to do what you want to do – but it is a Windows based instruction.  There must be a way on a Mac to do what is required in Windows; i.e.Turn OFF password protected sharing.  Otherwise, the instructions are universal.  If nothing else it will tell you how to use passwords if you want to.
