You need to either set 'encrypt passwords = yes' in your smb.conf file
or apply one of the plaintext password registry hacks to your clients
(insecure). The registry hacks are in the samba docs directory.

The normal way to store the Windows compatible passwords is to create an
smbpasswd file (smbpasswd -a user), but you might want to look into
running in 'security = domain' mode, where you pass the password back to
the windows DC. Look into the username mapping options in the usernames
don't match up.
