Not quite encountered this exact problem before but I'm guessing that you
need either:

1) Add a user with the same logon credentials as you use under Linux to
the Windows PC or its controlling domain

... or ...

2) Use Samba user translation (this certainly works for connections
incoming to Samba, but I'm less sure about outgoing) - so that, for
example, root gets mapped to Administrator. Eg: sample smbusers file:

    # This file allows you to map usernames from the clients to the server.
    # Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
    #
    # Cf. section 'username map' in the manual page of smb.conf for more
    # information.

    !root = Administrator
