Make sure you type this as a root.

It's the password of that windows box.
# mount -t smbfs //PC/Documents /mnt/documents -o username=<a user on windows 
box>,password=<passwd for that user - windows box, mind you>

For example, on our lan, I've got a machine running Windows XP. Now, I can mount 
the entire D drive onto my linux box like this
# smbmount //172.16.5.56/d$ /mnt/movies -o username=administrator
Password:<enter administrator's password here>
and bingo, it should be mounted.

Hope this helps.
