I used the system-config-samba package from the Ubuntu repository, but it seems every time I use it, it changes my password. I've made the account in terminal, and in the system-config-samba GUI program, and every time I check the GUI program, the amount of stars that obscure my password are different to the amount of characters in my password, and I can't access any shares, whether it be from my Win 7, Win 10, the server itself, or my mothers Ubuntu machine. Can someone please help me?

Edit: I'm using Lubuntu 15.10
