Strange integrated authentication success

Hello

I am experiencing strange success of authentication.

I have two boxes, one xp-pro and another windows 2003, both have SQL2005.

Two boxes have no relationships except that they are in same network. Really
nothing such as account and trusted relationship.

Expecting failure, I tried to connect from xp to win2003 with integrated
authentication(trusted_connection=yes).

Result is success. I checked profiler and found the account name is recorded
as Administrator.

What happened?

The two boxes have same passwords for Administrator and I logged on with the
same passwords. But I don't think same password can be a free passport to
the databases.

Do you have any idea?
