The only chance is that you modify each client's registry to
send plain text passwords to the server over the network,
downgrading your security to what telnet provided ages ago.
You can guess that this is ABSOLUTELY NOT recommended. If
you go with standard Windows authentication schemes, the
SMB server never sees the user's plain text password which
would be required to authenticate against Kerberos.
