Workgroup credentials for "smartware" log in? my cloud, nope, should be called my nightmare

I found a great explanation of what login credentials it is actually asking for.  I have tried many but I did not specfiy the domain.  See the link below.  I used the backslash () nomenclature to specify the PC and username and this was accepted.

Most relevant info: 

you can specify “HomePC\PikkHome”, or “PikkHome@HomePC” as the user name to specify both the user name and the domain in one field.
