Samba asks password

Every time I want to mount a Windows share from Linux using Samba, it asks for the password. When I type the password it works.
This is very annoying since I've put the mount in my fstab and when the computer wants to mount the share while booting up it asks for the password. If I fill in the password, it continues booting up.

How can I get rid of it, so I don't have to give the password ech time my computer boots up.

Add a credentials option to /etc/fstab -eg:
credentials=/root/.shareX-credentials

Make the /root/.shareX-credentials file something like:
username=element
password=your_password
workgroup=your_workgroup
