How and where do I set the password for the home machine? I went to
the user /group dialog box I have local users and groups. Do I put it
under users or groups, and do I log it as home machine or in my name etc.
I appreciate the help.
Thank You.

To change the password or set a password for the user on the Home
machine you will select the User from the local users and there should
be some way to Set password there. (r-click on the username and see if
it has Set password as an option). I don't have Home installed on any
machines here anymore, so I can't give you the exact steps. Have you
tried going through Control Panel/User Accounts? I don't even know if
that selection is there on Home.
I'm not sure what you are asking about "...do I log it as home machine
or in my name etc...".
Log what? where?
Just to summarize,
You have 2 Home machines, each have a username assigned that is used for
login. Regardless of whether you are prompted or not its there. (With a
single account and no password, Home just logs straight in). Each of the
XP Home usernames needs to be added to the user list on the XP Pro
machine. The easiest way, as Pranav suggested is for all 3 machines to
use the same user/password.
But, the bottom line is the username(s) currently in use on the Home
machines must be added as users on the XP Pro machine and then the
permissions on the XP Pro machine set to allow access to the shares
you've defined by those users.
