SQL Server Enterprise Edition is not supported on Windows XP. The only editions which can be installed on Windows XP are the Express, Personal, and Developer editions. The Workgroup, Standard and Enterprise Editions all require a Server OS.

To which SQL password are you referring? SQL Server it self doesn't have a password. As long as your account is a member of the Administrators group on the PC, by default you will have admin rights to the SQL Server.
