Are you talking about this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=xyz,password=abc,uid=xyz //windowmachine/share /mnt/folder

I have tried this also and it gives the same result.

You need to be aware of a couple of things here.

1. You must be root
2. You must create the mount point, in the example this /mnt/folder
3. The permission denied means that you either got the password wrong, or the user wrong, or the user does not have permissions to use the share on the windows side.
