Had a similar problem here (but with Service Pack 3...)
Try re-enabling "Plain Text Passwords"; read the WinNT.txt
file in the Samba/docs directory:

	Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters\

	Add the following value:
		EnablePlainTextPassword:REG_DWORD=1
