Open a Terminal on the Ubuntu computer and type the following, replacing 'username' with your own username: sudo smbpasswd -a username Enter passwords as prompted and then try to access the shared folders from the Windows machine again. You may need to restart samba - you can do this by pressing System -> Administration -> Services and unticking 'Folder sharing service (samba)', then ticking it again after a few seconds.
