Remote Desktop Problem

[Guest]

I have upgraded one of my computers to XP Pro from XP Home and am trying to
connect remotely from another computer. I have set the remotes options as
required and when I try to access the computer I get this message: "Unabel to
log on due to an account restriction". I can access my other computers from
this one. The only difference I can see is the newly upgrade computer doesn't
require passwords. Is this a must? Or do I just have something not set
correctly?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, to access your system via Remote Desktop, the account you are using for
access must have an associated password. Your options are to either create
a password for the account you normally use to logon or logon remotely using
the Administrator account (and the password you supplied during setup.) If
you did not install XP with a password for the Admin account, create one
using "control userpasswords2" from the "Run" command. Doing so should not
affect the way you logon normally.
