Probably because you have 'map to guest = bad user', this is from 'man
smb.conf':

Bad User - Means user logins with an invalid password are
rejected, unless the username does not exist, in which case it
is treated as a guest login and mapped into the guest
account.

Or to put it another way, ANYBODY can connect!
