Win 2k password requirement?

Comment:

My Win2k Pro SP4 machine has suddenly started requiring Username and Password from a WinXP Home SP1 machine. The XP machine is in a different workgroup, but it worked for over a year.
The drives on the 2k machine have full permissions to "Everyone".
I defragged the XP machine and installed a new audio card driver on the 2k machine at the time that it started requiring UN and PW.
The XP machine is the bosses personal laptop and I have highly recommended SP2 - I've even given him a disk with the full install package.
Any help would be appreciated.
