i'm sorry, then i don't know what is wrong.  i tried exactly this and it
worked fine.  tested against nt5 and nt4.

can u report:

- whether you are using latest cvs (which you always should be)

- smb.conf file

- os type

can u check:

- local admin account actually works (use another nt wksta, do net use
\\ntwks /user:NTWKS\localadmin).

- more log info, debug level 100, recompile with -DDEBUG_PASSWORD.

thx.
