Assume that the shared directory is /var/wwwroot
sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
Modify the content in the file [gloab] from security=user to security=share
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
[share]
path=/var/wwwroot
available=yes
browseable=yes
public=yes
writable=yes
guest OK = yes
[global] defines global configuration, and workgroup is used to define workgroups. I believe that if you have installed a Windows system, you will be familiar with this workgroup. Under normal circumstances, we need to change MYGROUP here to WORKGROUP (the default workgroup name of Windows).
security = user #Specify the security level of samba here. There are four types of security levels:
share: Users can log in to the samba server without an account or password.
user: The samba server providing the service is responsible for checking the account and password (default)
server: another windows or samba server is responsible for checking accounts and passwords
domain: Specify the windows domain control server to verify the user's account and password.
The default group of the samba service installed in ubuntu is WORKGROUP. Use the command to test:
sudo smbclient -L //localhost/wwwroot
Tips:
WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated
Enter root’s password:
There is no need to enter the password, just press Enter.

You can see that wwwroot has been used as a shared disk.
The above is an introduction to the method of accessing the samba server without a password in the Ubuntu system. If you find password access troublesome or cannot remember the password, you can access the samba server through the method introduced in this article.
