Tada!

OK, so I added these two lines to the [global] section of smb.conf:

guest account = dupa
null passwords = yes

and matched Administrator to this user dupa in smbusers:

dupa = administrator

and it works!


Now I have to "reconfigure" it a bit, because Administrator is used for 
other purposes like joining domain here... :)
