Is there a WinXP.administration_accounts_passwords news group?

I am using WinXP professional and have not a set password. When I attempt to
set up either a ethernet network or wireless network between this computer
and another computer (either Mac or PC) I am asked for a password. Does
WinXP Professional set a default password independent of any I might set? I
have even established a password from the Control Panel applet and then
deleted the password in hopes of establish the network without a password.
This did not work.

Anyone with ideas on how to discovering the password please reply.

And you also have not posted to the correct group.

This is a VISTA group.

There is an XP security_admin group though your question is more
applicable to the XP network_web group.
XP PRO, if set to standard sharing, will require a password or matching
account. If set to simple file sharing, the guest account is used and will
not require a password.
