Q: windows file sharing user checkbox issue

I have a new Macbook Air, and am wanting to complete the 'file sharing' process to include Windows File Sharing but when I go to 'options' after turning file sharing 'on', the checkbox next to my name that I should select to turn 'on' is unselectable - nothing happens when I click on it so I cannot set up a password for the other computer to complete sharing.

 

Can anybody help?  I am new to the Mac world but think I have followed all the steps I have found to enable printer and file sharing process, and the windows computer can see me, just cannot connect until I can complete the password part on the Mac

 

I am running yosemite 10.10.5

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1
