how do I create Home Sharing on my MacBook

I'm trying to set up Apple TV. To watch movies from iTunes to Apple TV, I need to use my iTunes password. Apple TV does not accept my password but it works for everything else. I thought maybe my Home Sharing was not set up on my computer. How do I do that? Nothing I've tried seems to be working. It's been 2 days of _____. I can't even get my password changed, which I really don't want to do.

iBookG4, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

It just worked. My account says my mac.com id and me.com id are both accepted for id's. I always use mac and think nothing of it. Since my same password works for everything, including iTunes on my computer but not on Apple TV; I changed to me.com. It worked. I had even been on telephone support last night and it couldn't be figured out. Time for a drink. ha Thanks
