The docs relating to this is in Passwords.txt

Put password level = 7 in your smb.conf, assuming that your max password 
lenght is 8.

This will cause the password routine to check for the 256 possible 
combinations of upper and lower cases.

Here is the complete table:
password level     total possible combination
     0                      2
     1                     10
     2                     38
     3                     94
     4                    164
     5                    220
     6                    248
     7                    256
