It definitely looks like it can't set the machine password.  I didn't
realise you were using Samba as the domain controller, I've only ever
used MS servers for this (and their GUI tools to delete PCs.)  If you
don't know how to delete the machine account, then getting enough access
to override it should be just as good.  When you add the Windows machine
to the domain it should ask you for a username and password, so use one
that has lots of access :-)

Cheers,
Adam.
