Default Remote Desktop: How to Setup a Keyboard-less XP HTPC?

I'm running my MP on XP (SP2) with a wireless trackball and using an USB keyboard. I only connect it when I need to do some installations or setup. Since it's not very comfortable to do this in front of a plasma tv I've just tried out the XP remote desktop (RD) to control the HTPC from a PC.

Originally, my PC was setup without any login and password. But without password RD doesn't work. So, I added a single letter password. It's still okay when I boot the PC, no need to enter passord. But whenever I've used RD the HTPC is locked. Then I need to enter the password (connect my keyboard) to unlock it.

I found the problem described on net
secure.experts-exchange.com
but haven't found the solution.

What I currently need is either a solution for the above problem
or
something allows me to unlock my HTPC without a keyboard (with mouse click)

thanks
Phuoc
