Nick,

As root, run

# passwd

to reset it.

Thanks, I didn't realize that it uses root's current password.

I thought it kept in the configuration of SAMBA in a separate location.

THanks again.

Also be aware of the smb.conf paramter "unix password sync" which needs to be set to yes as I understand it, for the users encrypted password changes to be updated in Samba's passwd file.
