Wrong. Win95 and win98 both have provisions for setting user
passwords and logon id's. You can do so by clicking on the "users"
icon in control panel in windows.

As above. Or alternately you can set a logon id and password simply
by erasing the .pwd file in your windows directory and shutting down.
When you reboot windows will ask you to set a user id and password.
Simply make sure that it matches one on the linux box.
