Yes, I have tried all the possible combination of account and disc passwords after factory resets but the lock still shows on time capsule icon in go/computer

If I invoke Go > Computer, I only see local disks, a mounted USB disk attached to my Time Capsule, and an item named "Network". If I click the "disclosure triangle" to the left of "Network", it reveals my Time Capsule. Is that what you see? If not and you're seeing that Time Capsule in the main computer window, if you select the Time Capsule icon and invoke File > Get Info, in the result window what do you see in the "General" section for "Kind"?


I'm not sure if this will show me anything interesting, but I'm still interested in knowing what values you see in the "File Sharing" panel of AirPort Utility.


Until you can make progress on this problem, I'd only use the "With disk password" setting.
