    Hi Daniel,

    Microsoft has a few tools for this sort of thing. Take a look at the docs
    Microsoft has created for this.

    How to Use the Cusrmgr.exe Tool to Change Administrator Account Password on
    Multiple Computers -
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;216393

    Resetting computer accounts in Windows 2000 and Windows XP -
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;216393

    There are even some script examples there to help you out. I've used the
    cusrmgr.exe tool before with success on the domains I manage here.

    Hope that helps,

    Subject: Local admin password

    Hi all,

    One of my customers asks me how to change the password of all local
    administrators
    of Windows XP workstations. They donīt want to go to each one and change
    it because they are quite a lot and they need to put the same password to
    all. Is there any tool to do this?

    Thanks in advance!!

    Daniel
