sure you have configured smbpasswords ?
the command is :
smbpasswd -a [username] then input the password.
Username must be declared in your ubuntu users.
there is also another command to automate this :
mksmbpasswd (Ive never used it but googling gives
http://linux.com.hk/PenguinWeb/manpage.jsp?section=8&name=mksmbpasswd
)
