OK - you're being incomplete
if you have a Linux user john, and you have a samba user john, then you
should be able to connect to your Linux server as john..
smbclient -L WHATEVER_SERVER_BIOS_NAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS -U john
and it will ask you for a password and it is either accepted or
rejected.
if it is rejected, change your samba password by issuing command...
smbpasswd john
This isn't rocket science
