Win2k needs password twice

[Herb Lewis]

You are running with plaintext passwords. Win2K will not connect to
a server running in plaintext password mode without asking for the
password. This dialog is VERY misleading to people. It is not that
the other password is wrong or NT doesn't know the password. This
is to prevent you from accidently sending your password to a malicious
server. What the dialog is really saying is "You are in plaintext 
mode. Do you REALLY want me to send your password over the wire?"

See the docs for changing to encryped passwords if you want to get
rid of this prompt.
