OK - so that means 'Simple File Sharing'  (I'm not a Windows expert mind you)

Try 'Guest' and 'Guest' or 'Guest' and blank password.

Also, IIRC (I'm used to XP Pro) you should have a user name at the top
of the start menu still - even if it automatically logs you in.  You
could try that username.
