It's asking for the computer name you're trying to connect to. Control Panel > System > Computer Name.
The documentation says I must have a password, but when I installed XP I don't remember entering a password, and I certainly don't need one to start up and get going.
Yup, you'll have to set one. It is possible to configure Windows to autologin even with a password so this isn't too big a nuisance.
Set up passwords on my user account, but that didn't work, either.
It's on the machine you are connecting to, not on the machine you're on.
