Then read it again :-)
especially the section NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION in the
smb.conf man page and security_level.txt.

You can't specify the password directly with the share, but you can
either create a unix user with the same name as the share or explicitely
specify the username in a "user = " directive in the share definition.
Samba will then use the password of this user (among others. See docs
für details).
