Okay, there are several things that you need to make sure of.

 - The username/password on Windows is the same as the username/password
    that you added using smbpasswd on Linux.

 - Samba global is setup for: 

      security = user
      encrypt passwords = yes
      smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

 - The share includes a list of valid users:

      valid users = @groupname (group that user belongs to)

 - I like to add the following to most shares:

      browseable = yes
      guest ok = no
      writeable = yes
      force group = groupname
      force create mode = 0664
      force directory mode = 0775
      inherit permissions = yes

 - The Linux filesystem permissions on the actual directory allows access
   by the required users. I like to do it like this:

      mkdir shared
      chown root.groupname shared
      chmod 0775 shared
      chmod g+s shared

Then after adding a user with useradd, I have to edit /etc/group to add
them to <groupname> and add their Windows password to Samba with
smbpasswd.
