Ok, suggest to carefully try to remove samba-common-bin as soon as you see a warning about a Vero package being removed say no. sudo apt-get purge samba-common-bin
If that goes without issue try again sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get --reinstall install smb-app-osmc
Here is the output from the 4 commands in your last post:

I’m back in! I figured that the username and password would revert to default after reinstalling samba and sure enough I was able to log in on my wireless devices using osmc for both. Strangely, I can still access all my Vero shares on Windows without changing anything.
How can I change my samba password to match with the password that I use for SSH?
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
SAMR connection to machine 127.0.0.1 failed. Error was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED, but LANMAN password changes are disabled
