Dave, this is not standard issue for all versions Windows XP. It can be only
issue of XP Home Edition (because I found such cases only in XP HE), but I'm
investigating it now to be completely sure in it.
In all Windows XP (in all versions with which I worked from 2001), after
installation the default Administrator account's password was always set
equal to first admin's password.
You are encouraged to read the time line and draw your own conclusions.
