This is misinformation.
First of all, you used "recently" and to refer to "WinNT SP3". Huh?
SP3 is several years old now. That's not recently, especially in the
computer industry.
Secondly, samba does work with encrypted passwords and WinNT and any
service pack (up to and including SP6 in my personal experience).

Don't enable plain text passwords unless you really need to. Read the
samba documentation to learn when it may be necessary to enable plain text
passwords.
