Question

A technician accessed a network share from a computer joined to workgroup. The technician logged in as "user1" and directed the computer to save the username and password. Several weeks later, the technician wants to log in to this network share using the administrator account.

Explanation

The computer automatically logs in as 'user1' because those credentials were saved in Windows Credential Manager. When a drive mapping already exists for that path under the current session, Windows reuses it. The net use command allows the technician to establish a new connection to the share from the command line, and critically it can be extended with /user:administrator and a password prompt (e.g., net use Z: \\fileserver\share /user:administrator *) to authenticate with a different account, bypassing the cached credential for that session. While deleting the credential from Credential Manager (C) is also a valid long-term fix, using net use directly gives the technician immediate access without permanently altering stored credentials.
