Speaking from my recent experience with Samba, I also did not have to compile Samba.
But I did have to take the RPMs I got for the particular distribution I was on and
install them. This was accomplished after I acquired the latest tarball for Webmin
tarred it and installed it. I then used Webmin to both install the Samba RPM and then
access SAMBA then SWAT from the server page. HTH

By chance did you make a mistake the first time? I've found that once you
mistype the password, you won't be prompted for it again until you bring
down all copies of your browser and start a new one up.

There can be an smbpasswd file, but I believe swat reads from /etc/passwd
(assuming a standard PAM setup).
