On my Redhat 9.0 systems, I do the following:

As root, remove the existing user - optional
smbpasswd -x <username>

As root, add the user and the password
smbpasswd -a <username> <userpassword>

As root, stop and then start the samba server:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start

Last night I used the steps listed above to change the user/passwords on
all four samba servers at my location.
