Does anyone Know the procedure for Windows 2000 workstation, in order to not
encrypt passwords.
What I needed is something similar to the transcription I make below that
works for windows nt4 and 98.
Thank's

This should take care of the "clear text password" problemsyou've
encountered:
For Win 98 (To enable "clear text passwords"): 1) Launch Registry
Editor
2) Double Click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3) Locate
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value
5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to:
EnablePlainTextPassword
6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry.
A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value.
Set this value to 1. 7) You MUST reboot to enable this change.
For Windows NT 4.0 AFTER Service Pack 3:
1) Launch Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE)
2) Double Click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3) Locate
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Rdr/Parameters
4) From the menu bar select Edit/Add-Value
5) Value name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data type: REG_DWORD
Data value: 1 6) Click OK, and quit REGEDT32
7) You MUST reboot to put this change into effect.Rick Piasecki

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local Security Policy Then its in one of the tabs... "Send unecrypted password to third party SMB servers" Otherwise HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters EnablePlainTextPassword takes same form (dword 1 to enable) There should be a reg file with the samba distribution? /James Emanuel Duarte wrote:> Does anyone Know the procedure for Windows 2000 workstation, in order to not > encrypt passwords. > What I needed is something similar to the transcription I make below that > works for windows nt4 and 98. > > Thank's > > Emanuel Duarte > (Portugal) > > ********************************** > This should take care of the "clear text password" problemsyou've > encountered: > For Win 98 (To enable "clear text passwords"): 1) Launch Registry Editor > 2) Double Click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > 3) Locate > /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP > 4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value > 5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to: EnablePlainTextPassword > 6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry. > A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value. > Set this value to 1. 7) You MUST reboot to enable this change. > For Windows NT 4.0 AFTER Service Pack 3: > 1) Launch Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) > 2) Double Click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > 3) Locate > /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Rdr/Parameters > 4) From the menu bar select Edit/Add-Value > 5) Value name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data type: REG_DWORD > Data value: 1 6) Click OK, and quit REGEDT32 > 7) You MUST reboot to put this change into effect.Rick Piasecki > Bob Davies wrote:> > >> With NT4.0, when you install SP3, it forces encrypted passwords for >> authentication.
