You can just hit return/enter to get logged in, and then go to Group/User
policies and change the necessity for a password. There are other ways to do
this too. If you had a password before you updated to Windows XP, you may
have to enter that when prompted, in order to get logged on.

On my pc, if I logon to the domain, I have to enter one password, but if I
log into the pc as a local administrator, it wants the password I had from
before I joined the domain.
