When on my Win98 laptop I can See the vista PC on the network but when I
click on the vista PC (to get to the shared folders) I am asked for a
password. I never set up any password on the vista machine.
I also have an XP which can get to the shared folders of the Vista PC
without having to supply a password.

Any Help appreciated

I'm sorry, but it isn't possible to access Vista's shared folders from
Win98 (or 95 or Me). Vista only supports sharing with Windows 2000
and later versions.
