Hello, I have a windows 10 system from where I shared some files, I can access those files from my windows 10 on the laptop I have fedora 23 installed on. But from Fedora if I try to access those files it is asking me for a password, which I did not set. I tried every password I know, but I can't get the username, workgroup and password right to go through. What am I doing wrong ?

You can set permissions on the shared folder under Windows, or optionally (but Not something I reccomend) is you can turn off password protected sharing on your Windows machine. If prompted for a user name and password for the share try:
Username: $Windows10machinehostname$your username
Password: Whatever you use to log onto the Windows 10 machine.

I haven't used Samba for many years, but I seem to recall that long ago the ability to connect to un-secured shares was removed.
Try creating a share that does have a password, and see if that works.
