I have two PCs ... (1) is my main and (2) is connected to my home theater and holds all my music, video etc

The morning (2) hard drive crashed and it's taken me all day - but I eventually retrieved the data and did a brand new install of Windows 7.

Now when I try connect (1) to (2) to listen to the music, it asks for a network password. There IS no password on (2) - so what could they be asking for? :/

PS It's not the wireless router password either
 
Oh - sorted out out myself.

One NEEDS a password on (2)
 
No ... I meant I know it's not the wifi password because I could access the wifi and I know that password ;)

It was access to the PC itself
 
You just need to turn off 'Password Protected Sharing' under 'Advanced Sharing Settings' in Network and Sharing Centre.
