Finding user name for mapped drive?

After a drive has been mapped, is there a way to find out which user
name the mapping was created with? I have administrative rights to the
box.

Thanks,
Brett

I have a NAS device that I can't log into its web admin interface.
Gives a page not found. If I could reach the page, I can reset the
user login. The web interface admin login is always the same for the
NAS. But since I can't log into the web interface, finding out the
mapped drive user name will give me a good hint about the password.

Hmm - that doesn't sound like a login problem - sounds like it can't find
the IP address/ name. Have you talked to the mfr/looked at their tech
support pages?

If you have only a limited number of users on the PC to begin with, you
could start guessing, I suppose.
