Windows allows you to store the different user names and passwords you use to access resources on a network, another computer, or the Internet in one place: Stored User Names and Passwords.
The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of a network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).

On the Advanced tab, in Passwords and .NET Passports, click Manage Passwords.
You can now add a user name and password you use to access a resource, or edit or remove an existing entry.

How can i turn off the password preventing my laptop to access my desktop?
The decktop is running xp home. When I try to access it from my laptop running 98, it askes for a passord, but when I try to access it from my laptop running xp media center it gives this message:
