Same with Windows 95 and Windows 98. Those operating systems were not really designed with a proper concept of 'user accounts'
The password box wasn't supposed to prevent system access, it was to capture user credentials for networking, like remote fileshare access.
Pressing escape is just choosing to continue anonymously.
I believe even as far as XP and maybe 7 you could just make a new user account with admin privileges by creating it through command prompt and changing a single flag. I used this to get unfettered access to the remote hard drive server in high school and stole other people’s homework.
