Hello Don,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I request you to follow the below steps:

Delete the file Windows/ServiceProfiles/LocalService/AppData/Roaming/PeerNetworking from all Homegroup computers.
Shutdown all the computers.
Reboot the main computer.
Now you will be able to start a new Homegroup.
When you turn on the other computers they will get invites from the main to join.
Enter new password.

(Applies to Windows 10 as well)

I hope this helps you. If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.
