unable to change user passwords

[Mike]

I'm trying to set up a direct connection between two XP
computers I have, but when i try to change the password
for the users it never works. I change them (as in the
password and the confirmation), then click OK, but
whenever i go back they are some previous password, and
who knows what that is. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
Thanx
mike

How do you know that it goes back to some previous password?

Is the problem that XP shows what looks like the wrong number of
characters for the password? XP always shows the same number of
characters, regardless of the actual length of the password. That
prevents someone else from looking at it and knowing how long your
password is. If that's what happening, try connecting anyway.
