Where are the windows user and password?

Take a look at "man smbmount"

You would add 

.., username=WindowsUser, password=WindowsPassword, ...

to the options, or better

..., credentials=FileName, ...

where the file FileName has the following content:
username = WindowsUser
password = WindowsPassword
