I recently had an issue that prompted me to change the admin password on my Asus RT-AX88U Pro router. The route has two USB drives plugged into it which I was able to access just fine from Windows machines on my network prior to changing router password. After changing the password; however, I can no longer access the drives. File Explorer asks me for credentials, and I have tried using the router login name with both the old and the new router password - neither of them work. I have confirmed that the admin account has R/W access to the disk. I have also found that I can access the disk from Windows if I turn on "Allow guest login" in the router's Samba configuration. I don't want to do that for security reasons. Any thoughts on how to restore proper access to these drives would be greatly appreciated.
 
As a troubleshooting step. Try removing the credentials to or for the Asus Router Samba Shares in the Windows Credentials Manager, if you haven't done so already. You may need to reboot the Windows PC after removing a windows credentials manager entry.
