UNC and authentication

I have a computer that's not connected to the domain but is on the same
network. If I attempt to connect via UNC (ie \\computername or
\\computername\c$) I get a prompt, which I expect, but the username is
already filled in with "COMPUTERNAME\Guest" and grayed out so I can't change
it. In most cases, I get a prompt that I can fill in the username as
Administrator (or whatever account I choose). This is what I need to do in
this case.

I've done some searching but most of what I've found about UNCs and
authentication revolves around IIS, which is not relevant here.

TIA,
Jim
