need to set the local policy security to enables the plain text password

Hello there,
My computer is running with WindowsXP home edition,
I need to set the local policy security setting that enables
the plain text password so it can talk to Samba Server.
I had tried Control_panel->User_account that doesn't help,
MMC Snap-in group policy doesn't help either.
I hope you may help.

Thanks

Van

GPEDIT does not exist in XP Home, nor does the Local Security Policy Snap
In.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Param
eters

Look in the right pane for EnablePlainTextPassword It needs to be set to 1
to enable plain text passwords. If it isn't, double click it and change it.
If it doesn't exist, right click in a blank area of the right pane and
select New, DWord value and name it EnablePlainTextPassword. Then change it
to 1.

Your best solution is to get a newer release of
Samba that does not require you to take such a
serious security risk
