If you are using SP3 or later NT uses encrypted passwords.  You can
either enable them in samba in the /etc/smb.conf file, or disable
encrypted passwords in NT, by editing the config through regedit.
Use the following procedure while doing regedit.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
