samba - Feb 2002 - Can not change user password with smbpasswd

Hello, 

Please let me know why user (not root) can not change password (connected in
Linux machine)? The log is below:

admin@samba_ux:/usr/local/samba/private > smbpasswd
INFO: Debug class all level = 1   (pid 1060 from pid 1060)
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified passwo
rd is invalid.
Failed to change password for admin
admin@samba_ux:/usr/local/samba/private >

I use various password combinations, so it could not be due too simple password
or reenter error.

Thans a lot for help.
