When you are trying to use remote administration with a computer running the
File And Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks network component that has not
been configured for remote administration, you receive a password prompt instead
of a descriptive error message.

CAUSE

Windows cannot determine whether you do not have administration rights on the
remote computer or the computer cannot be remotely administered.

RESOLUTION

Cancel the password prompt. Configure the computer for remote administration or
contact your system administrator.
