[MarceloQuad]

what will happnen when you setup your HomeGroup for sharing files on your network, and forgot the password.
don't worry By going to the Control Panel, you can either view the current HomeGroup password or go ahead and change it.

1. Click the Windows Orb (Start button).

2. Select Control Panel.

3. Select All Control Panel Items.



4. Select HomeGroup.

5. Go to the bottom of the window, to the Other homegroup actions section.

To view the current password:

Click the View or print the homegroup password link.



Your homegroup password will be displayed.



To change the password:

Click the Change the password link.



Click the Change the password button (if you are sure you want to do this)



Use the newly generated password, hit the refresh button for another one, or input your own. (Make sure to remember it this time!)



Click the Change password button.

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!

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.
