Hi guys!
I recently installed Samba and smb4k. I sepup everything in smb4k, but I was told that I have to setup samba as well. HERE IS MY PROBLEM: Samba ask me for a password to enter. I never set a PW, but I tried all PW's I use in Zorin, but nothing works.

Does anyone know how to reset the PW for Samba, that I can set the right one?

Thanks

Thank you very much. In the meantime I got support from the ZORIN team with just two command lines and now everything works fine. SOLVED

I wonder what the command lines were?
