Need help connecting P2P in same network

I've been having problem connecting the two computers since I installed Windows 10. (The two talked to each other when in Windows 8 before).

Two laptops:
HP with computer name H; Toshiba as T

Both belong to same workgroup WORKGROUP.
Both network discovery turned on and set to nearby computers to share.

They don't show up in Window Explorer.

When I tried to map the other computer (for example mapping the HP from the Toshiba), I entered \\H\Pictures (Pictures is the folder which I had set to share in properties). Then it asked me for my Network Credential.

I entered my log in name, or email and my login password. It doesn't work.

1. What and where is my network credential?
2. If I forgot it, how do I reset it?

Thanks.

Try with the IP of the machine. i.e. \\192.168.0.12\sharename I find the windows discovery to be terrible, even with firewalls off. You'll also need to set an account on the remote machine that has permission, or disable the password check -> Control Panel > Network and sharing center > Change advanced sharing settings > Check "Turn Off password protect sharing" option.

There is no such option in my setting.
