Even in LAN , you cant access anyother machines (say machine-X) without privileges.

you are right , if you have an administrative password set then it is ok
you may not know but many of them do not set password for their administrator account, believe me i know a lot of them

and if you don't set the password then the above method can get you in to the system. i am talking of an average home user

i have seen lot of ppl with password like 1234 or abcd which is not correct

Even password can be broken by using brute force but if your password is long enough like at least 9 to 10 characters then it is almost impossible to use brute force and that way you can be save

we all are part of bsnl network & at least in same locality/area it is very easy to access someone else's computer if security is weak on that computer.its just like using LAN.
