how do you reset Samba root PW w/o knowing it?

Smilie

I have a system that uses Samba to manage user's accounts. The problem is that the Samba's root password has been changed, and the people who setup the system have left the company. So what do I need to do to reset it or blank it out in order to supply Samba with a new password?
