If you are trying to set xp to log you on to sme at start up, you will need to.

start
control panel
usser accounts
click on the account you wish to use
on the top left of the screen under Related tasks
click on manage my network passwords
and add your sme user name and password.

Yeah i know, but is it not posible to change the password within windows ?

By pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL and then "Change password" ?

No it isnt.

Every user can browse to
http://yourservername/user-password
and change only his own password.
