From Linux I can use "smbpasswd -r 192.168.1.123 -U jack" to change the password I use to map network drives. How can I do the same from Windows? I configured a Samba share that several folks connect to from their personal (Windows) laptops. They want to be able to change the passwords they use to connect to this share
