How to establish a password-protected share to Windows users with /var/smb/smbpasswd ?

Hello,
I've already managed to use SMB shares for Windows users connecting as guest (which generates ephemeral SID).

But when I set "guestok=false" or completely removes "guestok" from the "zfs share" command, windows users are prompted for credentials which I don't know how to setup.
On share_smb (which I get after installing package service/file-system/smb) I read:
...
If the local account has a password in  /var/smb/smbpasswd the
guest  connection  will  be  authenticated  against that password.
...

But what should be more exactly the next steps to do?
When I created the local account I've set its password to "passwd -N".

Howdy, Stranger!
