Modifying Network SMB (Samba) Passwords

I had an issue with papercut where a SMB connection path was saved with the wrong username and password allowing higher then wanted privileges.  To change the user to one with lower privileges you can use the Manage Network Passwords from control panel.

 Type Manage Passwords in the windows 10 search



When open select the credential you want to modify.  In my case the second one highlighted in green.  Hit the dropdown to edit the settings.



When you hit edit, you will get a dialog with the name/ip of the server and then you can update the username/password as shown below.


Then hit save.  Once you do that if you put your $username and $password in properly, and try to access the network resource over SMB in explorer \\$server\ you should have full access (according to the user permissions that are granted to you by the server) as shown below
