How to access- Windows embedded Standard -(Win XP) with out user & password

Question

I have a Qsonix Q205 -Music Streamer from 2010, that works perfectly, but I can NOT access the XP desktop that runs under the GUI. The company closed a few years ago, and when the unit turns on, it used to automatically direct itself to the company Servers, whic supplied the units with song titles, album art etc.

The Network port works. I get a valid - IP address > see attached photos. but I CANNOT ping the unit, because the unit blocks the Ping. When I enter the IP address on a Tablet, I get the QSONIX music desktop selection, and I am able to select and play music successfully.

My thought was, if I am able to access the XP desktop, I could edit the Config. Sys and Autoexec files, so my home Network can access the Qsonix.

Thanks to anyone who can help me. I have been trying to solve this for 5 yrs.
