Please do not understand me wrong now: Maybe you should first study sysprep and using answer files a little bit more before trying them?
Your original question was why Windows asks a username and password when sysprepped with your answer file. I told you it is because your answer file has no reference to any other user account than the built-in administrator.
Next you asked how to leave the password away, using username without password. I answered that. Your next question was how to do that, I linked you to a tutorial where the procedure is described.
And now, your question:
My answer: Read the tutorial, study sysprep and answer file. At the end of the tutorial you'll find more links to sysprep and answer file related articles.

Please use the[code] Your code here [/code] tags when posting scripts and code, it makes it easier to read.
You need to test your answer file yourself, I have no capacity to do that. The syntax seems OK.
This last answer file of yours makes Windows to skip auto activation (why?) and creates an administrative user account called "testing".
