Question #215641 on samba in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/215641

NikTh proposed the following answer:
If above not works , then try something else that possible will work.

Change the username to match each other Operating Systems . Windows 2000
username and Ubuntu username must be the same. (no password, only
username).

Then open a terminal and write this

 sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME

and leave it blank.

where USERNAME your actual Ubuntu username (it should be the same as
Windows 2000).

Then go to Windows 2000 and disable and re-enable the shared folders.

Thanks
