You will probably need to install the encrption patch as NT service pack
3 uses encryption technique and does not transmit clear text passwords.
Alternatively you can edit the registry and enter a key to enable clear
text passwords.
Excerpt from technet says:-
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========
After upgrading your Windows NT 4.0 computer to Service Pack 3 (SP3),
you
are unable to connect to SMB servers (such as Samba or Hewlett-Packard
(HP)
LM/X or LAN Manager for UNIX) with an unencrypted (plain text) password.
When attempting to connect after you upgrade to Windows NT 4.0 Service
Pack 3, you receive the following error message:
System error 1240 has occurred.
The account is not authorized to login from this station.
Connecting to SMB servers (such as Samba or Hewlett-Packard (HP) LM/X or
LAN Manager for UNIX) with an unencrypted (plain text) password fails
after
you upgrade to Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3.
CAUSE
=====
This is because the SMB redirector in Service Pack 3 handles unencrypted
passwords differently than previous versions of Windows NT. Beginning
with
Service Pack 3, the SMB redirector does not send an unencrypted password
unless you add a registry entry to enable unencrypted passwords.
RESOLUTION
==========
To enable unencrypted (plain text) passwords, modify the registry in the
following way:
WARNING: Using the registry editor incorrectly can cause serious,
system-
wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of the
registry
editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
1. Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
\system\currentcontrolset\services\rdr\parameters
3. Click Add Value on the Edit menu.
4. Add the following:
Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1
5. Click OK and then quit Registry Editor.
6. Shut down and restart Windows NT.
Hope This Helps
