note 1: please clear your browser's cache and refresh immediately after upgrading
note 2: due to the fact that the admin password is no longer updated at each boot, if you upgrade from previous versions, your Samba password needs to be updated once, after the upgrade. You can either change your admin password from the settings panel or you can manually log in (via SSH) and run:

PASSWORD="yourpassword" /etc/adminpasswd.d/samba
