Yes, the account that you are trying to log in to with Remote Desktop must have a password set up.

If you are only using one user account on WXP and want it to automatically log in after you have set a password (instead of it going to the Welcome screen) go to Start -> Run and type "control userpasswords2" and uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" then enter the password for the account you want to always log in
