I've used the utility "pwdump" from:

ftp://ftp2.unicamp.br/pub/samba/pwdump/pwdump.exe

The "tail" of its README:
+-------------------------------+
Source code 
-----------

The source code for this utility may be found in 

ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/pwdump/pwdump.c

Note that this code needs a DES library to compile. The one I used in
development is Eric Young's excellent DES library found at :

ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/DES/libdes-4.01.tar.gz

which compiles fine under Windows NT. I used Microsoft Visual C++ 4.x
as the compile environment. The code pwdump.exe is provided for people
who do not have a compiler and is a binary of the program for x86 NT
machines (are there any other kind :-).

Please report all bugs to :

Then I made a script, getting the username and the passwords from the file
generated by this pwdump program. With this username, I got the correct
Uid (from the /etc/passwd) and the correct names also. Then, I put them
together in a smbpasswd file (adding a ":[U          ]:LCT-39841916:" at
the end of each line - "ad hoc" :-))


Then I tested and everything worked fine.

That's all.
