WD my cloud Username and Password

[David_Pullum]

Hi

I just got a new WD my cloud through the door and I am trying to set it up as a network drive with all my music on it

When I try to add it as network share it asks me for the username and password of. Is that the username and password of the drive? As far as I can see there is not one

Or is it of my computer? Completely lost to be frank
