I have just upgraded our Win2000 Server to XP Pro and have upgraded another computer on the network to the same.
I can access it and others on the network but cannot access the server from the other computers. They keep requesting a password which was setup by the previous sys admin who is no longer here.
The system carries a KUDOS POS system which needs two way communication to perform. Can anyone assist with a work around .

You "upgraded" a Window 2000 *SERVER* to Windows XP Pro?

You do realize that if said machine is really used as a server as you suggest, your "upgrade" really wasn't an upgrade at all. XP Pro is a client OS, not a server. In all but the smallest of networked environments, it should not be used or relied on as a server either.

Perhaps that is the root cause of your problem.

(FYI...if you wanted the "latest" from a Microsoft Server prospective that would be Windows Server 2003 - which I have heard some refer to as "Windows XP Server" before.).
