The exactly same happened to me.. I think winnt saved the information that
the server uses unecrypted passwords and is "unsafe" somewher in
the registry and therefor switching to encrypted passwords doesn't prevent
nt from asking for the password every time.

One another machine I installed nt after swiching to encrypted password and
I doesn't ask for the password every time
