I have a xp home PC networked with a xp Pro. I want to set up Spybot on the second computer but am asked for Administrators password. I have no password on my home computer for Administrator and had no trouble there. Inserting the password that I believe is right for the second computer does not work either. Does Administrator password apply to each computer or the network?

Jump to Postif you don't have a domain controller there, the passwords are local to the computers, not network-wide
Jump to Postbecause its XP home
XP home doesnt support domains or security policy
