    You can use the dumpbin utility to see exported
    functions inside an executable, check switches of
    dumpbin, if I remember correctly this comes with
    platform sdk tools. If you'd rather use a gui tool,
    you can use the depends tool that comes with platform
    sdk to look inside a windows executable.

    dumpbin /exports mybinary.dll

    If I remember correctly, password change functionality
    was in mpr.dll, this could have changed with xp and
    2003, rundll32 is useful only if you are using simple
    api's that takes simple arguments like integers or
    strings, you cannot pass complex data structures in
    that way.
    Scripting is the best option. You can write scripts
    for this using ADSI/WMI, check windows script center
    (microsoft.com)

    Thanks,
    RV.
