the Win98 popup only allows to enter a password, not a username, the username is always (to my knowledge) the Win98 logged user.

Yeah that'll be the bulk off the problem. It is trying to authenticate with an account Win7 has no record of. You could trying changing the permissions on the shared folder so that "Everyone" has full access. It should then not prompt for password... should. Other than that firgure out a way to specify a username on the 98 machine, or... upgrade to XP :P

yeah, I tried with "everyone / full access", no luck. I cannot migrate the PC to XP because it has an old Psion SSD card with a 16-bit driver (really!) not supported on XP.
