In a workgroup (outside of a domain) each machine can
only use its own accounts. So you cannot really add the
admin account from the other machine, but if you define
one named just like it then things get more simple.
In XP Pro, try running
compmgmt.msc and drilling in
or
control userpasswords2
or, for the real thing directly
lusrmgr.msc
You will notice some changes depending on whether
the Pro is or is not using Simple sharing mode.
