ubuntu Please help (Samba)

Okay, so I have several shares set up. I can access all of mine, however my family also wants storage on the server. I said "sure" since I have 5TB and most likely don't have enough pron to download and fill up that space. I set up their shares and created a username/password for them to use on the server. "All is well, then?" NO! No it is not! On my machine I can access all of their files (because I am SUDO'ed and I have higher perms than they have), however on their computers they can't access their own folders because Windows 10 keeps kicking out an error saying "The specified network password is not correct."

I know the password is correct, same with the user names! I have attempted login with both just the username, and the server (Deltanet) followed by the username (ie: "Deltanet\judy72").

Does anyone know the magic sauce that I am missing? Or am I just SOL and need to create separate partitions for them to use, then setting group/user policy on those drives (I'd prefer this as a last resort to prevent data loss). Below is the version info about Ubi as well as the Windows 10 Build info.

Ubuntu: 16.04.2 (LTS)

Windows 10: Edition: Pro; Version: 1607; Build: 14393.953

Thanks in advanced to anyone who can save me.
