Brian,

just use the same username and the same password on both
computers.

For more information please have a look at

Brian,

first of all, you can use an existing one on one computer and
create one with the same username and password on the other.

But you can also create a new one on both.

On Windows XP Home you use Control Panel, User Manager (or User
Accounts, don't have an English version near me at the moment)
to create a new user.

Windows 98 is normally set to have only one user. In this case
you can simply change the username and password. You do that by
finding the password file with the old username (example: for
user XYX find the file C:\WINDOWS\XYZ.PWL) and deleting or
renaming it. Windows 98 will ask you for a new username and
password the next time you boot.
