See mount.cifs(8) - basically, you add a mount option to specify a
credentials file, and put the relevant information in that file.
For example:

  //storage/share /mountpoint cifs credentials=/etc/cifs_creds 0 0

You'd obviously wnat /etc/cifs_creds to be readable and writable
by only root, and its contents would look something like this:
 
  username=somebody
  password=somepass
  
-RW
