Assuming: since you say "personal laptops" that these machines are *not*
members of a domain and thus are participating in a workgroup [however
adhoc that workgroup may be]

I'm not aware of any way to change an account/share password from a
Windows client when operating in workgroup mode;  this is regardless of
if the server is Samba or Windows.
