Keith, I don't have a windows machine to check it out but I'm pretty sure it's done through control panel and then users manager or something. I was faced with this problem on a clients network. I advised them of the security issues of not protecting their systems with passwords anyway so they let me set them. This resolved it. Also, you will want to make sure you're running on the same workgroup and you have smbfs installed. Samba is actually the server bit and smbfs is the client. I found under Breezy that the only way to work with smb shares reliably (being able to use openoffice documents directly from the share for example) was to make them permanent mounts in fstab, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently for a howto.
