cifsmount - "SRV: Bad password"

[Joshua Boyd]

HP-UX 11.31 Sep 09 QPK
Trying to mount a windows share on my hp-ux server.

The following command is failing:
cifsmount -U user -P pass //server/backup_share /mnt/backup_share
SRV: Bad password
SRV: Bad password

This had been working for over a year, then all of a sudden just stopped. The "user" account is valid. I can rdp to the windows box using the "user" and "pass". Password and account are set to never expire on the windows machine.

I can start and stop the cifs client with no issue. I reviewed the debug log, but really didn't see anything that stood out.

any help is greatly appreciated; backups are currently failing....

Found the solution:

On Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP the setting of the Registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\LMCompatibilityLevel must be 0, which is the default setting.
