The computer you are remoting into (the "server") must have an user account
either in the 'remote desktop users' group or in a group ('Administrators'
for example) that is already in the 'remote desktop users' group. You will
be using THAT account when connecting to THAT computer. And yes - that
particular account is ON that computer (can be used to log into that
computer when sitting in front of it usually) and has a password.
