You're chasing a wild goose, I think. Try adding some details so someone
with XP experience will know what you're talking about. There is no
connection between XP/Unix where the question makes any

Are we talking Samba?

Encrypted passwords

Previous versions of Samba on MPE could only perform SMB authentication
using plaintext passwords which certain versions of Windows could only
support via the registry modifications described in the
/usr/local/samba/docs/Registry directory. Because passwords were transmitted
over the network in plaintext, this constituted somewhat of a security
exposure that some customers were not willing to risk.

If so, /usr/local/samba/docs/Registry might be the place to start. Possibly
different depending on your flavor. This is just the first link I clicked
after a search, but it should get you started if Samba is the subject.

Here's how to make Win2K use plain-text passwords:
Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools->Local Security
Policy-> Local Policies-> Security Options

Double click on "Send unencrypted passwords to connect to third party SMB
Servers" and check "enabled"

Above not mine, but looks like it might work. GL
