How to connect to external network hard drive as a different user?

By Daniel Rodriguez

I can access my external network hard drive with Files in Ubuntu 14.04.2. It is 2 TB WD hard drive and I guess its file system is NTFS and I guess (again) that samba is used here.

First time I connected as an anonymous user. Now I want to connect as a different user who has rights to access other folders than Public. However, on double click it does not offer login as different user.

How do I delete does credentials so that I have again a choice to connect as an anonymous or some other user?

In the server address write the IP of your client in the form smb://192.168.1.1 replace the IP with you client

then enter the user name and password and that's.
