Workgroups are not a security boundary - it's just a collection of machines
that share a common name.
Individual machines in a workgroup enforce their own "security" - for
example username/passwords.
In case of a Windows 98 machine, if you cannot login with a certain
username/password, chances are that you used that username with a different
password on that machine at some point. Search for *.pwl files and delete
the file that has the same name as the user that you are trying to login
as. Then logoff and try again. Windows 98 will recreate the pwl file with
the password that you specify.
