If you've not changed it (based on reading I doubt you have) the domain

You username/password for your Ubuntu shares will be whatever user you
assigned to the shares in the smb.conf file (the "valid users = timmy
johnny" line), I have no idea how any of the graphical tools do this  if
you've set it to "guest ok = yes" then you can just login with the Guest
user account (no password, username Guest I seem to recall... though
there might be a "Sign in as guest" button. There is on OS X)

For your Windows shares, it'll be the username/password of the person
who owns the share. So to connect to my Win7 shares I user the username
"matt" and my windows password as the password.

Hope that helps you a bit further along the track.

Hi Matt,

thanks for the message, I really appreciate it. its been fixed, and I even have my windows share fixed too. Not something I would have been able to get with a million years of looking. The command I was given, for both machines, totally lost me, but it worked, and opened up my locked machine to share. It took seconds, but I still had to spend a lot of time trying to work it out. But it now works.
