Samba 4.1.12 asking for workgroup password.

Hello
I searched from different sources, but I couldn't get a clear explanation. As of last version of samba everything was working. Now I'm facing a strange behavior which is asking a password to access the workgroup.
My samba installation is 4.1.12-
I seen in the systemctl status :

● samba.service - Samba AD Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/samba.service; disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since lun 2014-09-22 15:16:27 CEST; 22min ago
  Process: 5777 ExecStart=/usr/bin/samba $SAMBAOPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

set 22 15:16:27 AsusG75 systemd[1]: Unit samba.service entered failed state.

I suppose I should change the role in my smb.conf, but I don't know what is the right key to be added.
My test without password

 $ smbclient -L 192.168.1.7
Enter user's password: 
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Aspire-5733 server (Samba, Ubuntu))
        print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
                             Aspire-5733 server (Samba, Ubuntu)
        ASUSG75              Asus G75 server

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        WORKGROUP            ASPIRE-5733

Any clue ?

EDIT

I found some way to use it again, but I'm not that sure it is the right way.

Commented the line securitu in /etc/samba/smb.conf
Started the service as systemctl start {smbd,nmbd,winbindd}

I'll test some more before render it as solved
