net use question

G

Using the net use command within a domain to access a remote XP SP2 client
not being a member of any domain.

Trying to access an administrative drive with the command: net use z:
\\computer\d$ i get the following error msg:

Invalid password for computer\d$ (even if I have the right admin password)

Why does it ask for computer\GUEST account password ? GUEST account is
disable and dont want to use it anyway.

What did I miss ?

TIA
