Please consider that Win98 uses encrypted passwords - Win95 used
plain-text passwords.
This point was discussed previous in this forum ...
there is a patch to be made in the win98 registry that looks something
like 
"encrypted passwords = 1" -> "encrypted passwords = 0" or something like
that.

Hope this helps..
