Windows98 Passwords
Please refer to the following URL:

*** NOTE ***
After making the registry changes referred to in this document
you MUST reboot your Windows 98 PC for the changes to take effect.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note - the best way to solve this problem is to enable encrypted
passwords on your Samba server. Windows 98 works well with Samba
when Samba is running in encrypted password mode. Samba versions
1.9.18 and later support encrypted passwords providing it is
correctly configured in smb.conf and an smbpasswd file has been
created.
To enable encrypted passwords on Samba, read the file docs/ENCRYPTION.txt
in the Samba distribution.
If you wish to change Windows 98 to send plaintext passwords again,
look on the Win98 CD in the directory '/tools/mtsutil/' you should
find the files: 'ptxt_on.inf' and 'ptxt_off.inf' here is a clip from the
mtsutil.txt file in that directory:
PTXT_ON.INF - SENDS PLAIN-TEXT PASSWORDS TO YOUR NETWORK SERVER
For security reasons, Windows 98 will not allow you to send plain-
text passwords. The password is encrypted by default. However,
Samba servers can be configured to require plain-text passwords,
so you will not be able to connect to Samba servers configured in
this mode unless you change a Registry entry to enable plain-text
passwords.
Caution: Enabling plain-text passwords could compromise security.
To enable plain-text passwords, add the Registry entry for
EnablePlainTextPassword (as a Dword) and set the value to 1 in the
following Registry location:
--------------------------------------------------
To set the value for EnablePlainTextPassword to 1:
--------------------------------------------------
1. Select PTXT_ON.INF found in the ToolsMTSutil folder on the
Windows 98 CD.
2. Right-Click PTXT_ON.INF.
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press the function key, F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to add the EnablePlainTextPassword entry and set
its value to 1.
PTXT_OFF.INF - SENDS ENCRYPTED PASSWORDS TO YOUR NETWORK SERVER
To re-enable the sending of encrypted passwords to your network
server, add the Registry entry EnablePlainTextPassword (as a Dword)
and set the value to 0 in the following Registry location:
--------------------------------------------------
To set the value for EnablePlainTextPassword to 0:
--------------------------------------------------
1. Select PTXT_OFF.INF found in the ToolsMTSutil folder on the
Windows 98 CD.
2. Right-Click PTXT_OFF.INF.
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press the function key, F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to add the EnablePlainTextPassword entry and set
its value to 0.
