RE: Reset password to allow Windows file sharing
I didn't have the described password problem, even though I installed 10.2 over top of 10.1.5. However I do have two possibly related problems with Windows sharing.
RE: Reset password to allow Windows file sharing
In addition to turning on Windows File Sharing in the Sharing Preference Pane, go to the Accounts (not My Account) pane, select a user, click Edit, and make sure "Allow user to log in from Windows" is checked.
RE: Reset password to allow Windows file sharing
I'm having the same type of problem, so I tried to do this, but I find that those option on the "Accounts" have been grayed out. How do I make them active?

Can Windows machines on your subnet browse Windows machines on other subnets?
If not, the Windows SMB network may not be correctly set up with the appropriate domain and local master browsers and/or the machines aren't pointing to a WINS server. This would be your company's network admin's problem (I hope that isn't you). Cross-subnet browsing of SMB networks can be a pain to get working - it's been the bane of many network administrators at my organization.
This SAMBA document is great for explaining how Microsoft's SMB protocol works.
