Re: Change Your HomeGroup Password in windows 7
I'm running Windows 7 build 7100.
First I could not get to "all control panel options" but entering it in to the address bar fixed that. Now I'm stuck when I get to Home group. There is no option for "Other homegroup actions", so I can't get to the option to "print or change my home group password". Please help!
Re: Change Your HomeGroup Password in windows 7
Under Network and Sharing center, switch to "Work network" and then switch back to "Home network" and then when you go to set up your HomeGroup it will give you a password.
