#SYNOLOGY DRIVE MAPPING PASSWORD#
On Windows client, when you connect to remote resource such as a file share that requires credentials, by default Windows uses the loginid and password that you used to login to the Windows client (even if you have your Win client login to itself automatically at power up, one is still "logged in" as "someone.") If those credentials don't match those of the remote resource, then authentication fails and the remote share won't mount (or will prompt you for credentials every time.) Indeed - one would expect "same userid with different password" to fail as by definition, that's authenticating using the "wrong" password.
