Hello !

I suppose you local users.

You nee to create users on a unix basis

useradd -m the_user

set his password

passwd the_user

which will ask you a password

and on the sambabasis

smbpasswd -a the_user

which will ask you a password too

If you need more info, just ask

add a new unix user
(dunno your unix - probably use 'adduser username' or maybe 'useradd
username')
import that user to samba
'smbpasswd -a usename'
 
set their passwords if you were not prompted
passwd username
smbpasswd username
