Have you tried to manualy change the password at the shell?
Login through ssh/telnet change to the root user ane issue this command

smbpasswd username

it will ask you for the new password and then you will know for sure that it is 
changed.  I have seen the same thing you describe and I did this and the 
problem was fixed.
