You will need an admin account on each system and authenticate to it.

You cannot simply bypass NTFS file permission security and attach to each share, as you do not have a domain to set security permissions on each system.

Good advice you schmuck

Anyhow, first guy was correct. Basically you either don't have passwords on those computers that you can't log in to or the admin passwords are different. In any case you need to change them to something you want. Since connecting to other computers with Drive$ is through administrative share you need to set the administrator account password. you should do that easily with Start-Run-control userpasswords2.
P.s. I would consider creating an account for sharing. Instead of using admin account for sharing. Well that depending on what level of security you are trying to enforce.
