    ('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Perhaps add something to a startup script(not login script) that does something like.

    'net user administrator newpassword'

    Of course the password would have to be stored in the script. You could obscure it using some kind of of encoding (rot13,base64) or something. It would be very difficult to automate setting a password, and then keep the password completely secure.

    Perhaps you could also use psexec to remotely run the command to reset the password. This would have the advantage of not having to store the password on netlogon/sysvol.
