There is no builtin "supervisor" account [there is administrator] so we know
this is a created user account.  It would appear you are using blank [no]
account passwords.

If you have a share with a user assigned, like supervisor, and you put a
password on that local account, then try to access the share from a remote
pc, you should be asked for name and password to the share.

solution is put the same passwork on the supervisor account that exists on
the remote machine.  Accounts and passwords must match between pcs or have
the guest account enabled for generic access.
