samba - Jan 2003 - please answer ! need help ! samba team.

hi all samba experts , 
                        i had a problem with my samba server verion-2.0.6-9 .
When i typed smbclient -L Server
;it prompt for a password and if i keyed in using ENTER botton only, it shows a
list:-
 Sharename ....Type    Comments
 home              Disk
 IPC$               IPC     IPC Service (Samba 2.0.6)

 Server             Comment
 PC                  personal
SERVER          Samba 2.0.6

Workgroup       Master
Simple             SERVER

But , if i key in the password i had set ( set by smbpasswd -root ....which
appears alright ) , its shows
Password:
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw
Hm....What should i need to do ? I try to check it with the SWAT ultility
....and its shows server 0879 on the passwd tab..which i thought it is the
correct password ! What went wrong ? I even try to smbclient my win 98 box when
the win box 98 tiny firewall is on....it cant browse any even though the fire is
set to allow the samba server to browse...it works fine if the tinyfire wall is
off....Hm.........i try it using another samb version 19-10.18p,
it works fine even using the same tiny firewall ....What went wrong with this
one too ?

its appears ...samba ...need to patch up alot ....?

Samba user ....

i'd guess that your password is not what you think it is...
try changing it on the server

I recommend using smbpasswd from the command line on the server to make
the change.

more recent versions.
