YES!!  Hooray!
Thanks, Lanman, this was indeed what made it run. I went into WebMin, edited
the password, restarted Sambaservers, and things are up and running.
Thanks, this is solved!

I've had this problem many times, to the point where fixing it is a
normal part of setting up Samba now. Theeasiest fix i found was to log
into Webmin, and browse to ServersSamba Windows File Sharing, and
clicking on the Edit Samba Users and passwords link.

Once in there, I would click on each users link, and when the Edit
Samba User page opened I would re-typw the password which is already
setup for that user, and UNcheck the No Password Required box. After
that, a quick Samba restart would alsways do the trick.

If that still didn't work, a quick reboot of the Windows PC or
workstation would usually do the trick.
