Cannot use smbpasswd for new user

Thank you for taking time in trying to help me.

The reason I suspect it does it's that it works for the other users, the 
ones who already have an encrypted password.

I already has a line in my smb.conf:
allow hosts =  127.0.0.1 132.204.106.

I don't use "interface".

I tryied but did not find anything.  I find it hard to search for 
solutions in the archive the way it is structured.
