    Hello All...

    This has been really bugging me for a few hours now. I know I've researched and fixed this before, but I CANNOT remember how to fix this.

    I have just a few computers (workgroup) and I'm trying to browse to one of them (Computer 1). They all use blank passwords and I want to keep them that way. Everyone has administrative rights. But I get the error message when I try to access Computer 1:

    \\Computer 1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

    Logon Failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced.

    More than likely it's the blank passwords, but security is not an issue. I know there's a way in the "Local Security Policy" to bypass this. But I CANNOT REMEMBER.

    Can somebody help me PLEASE!
