You must have shared in a way that it expects authorization. If so, you'll have to add a user to the samba configuration file or else you'll have to make the share accessible to everyone without authorization.
This link contains the details of creating samba shares :

You can use samba package.
To install Samba
apt install samba -y
To configure samba
mkdir /path/to/fileshare
cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bkup ; vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
Write this in smb.conf file
[fileshare_name]
path = /path/to/fileshare
read only = no
browsable = yes
Press : and write wq! to save configuration.
Create user for samba
adduser samba ; smbpasswd -a samba
Restart samba
systemctl restart smbd ; systemctl restart nmbd ; ufw allow 'Samba'
Now try to connect from windows
Win + R and write \\samba_server_ip'
