Re: Resetting passwords

There are several free utilities that can do this XS BAP works wonderfully, www.avianwaves.com, also a recent copy of MCPMAG had an article and a downloadable tool to change local passwords, here's the link to the article

Subject: Resetting passwords

Hi all,

Is it possible to reset a local machine password, whilist using a domain
account, and without logging off and on a domain account? i.e from the
command line?

Also is it possible to reset a domain password without loggin onto the
domain. E.g A user authenticates with the domain, logs on/off using a
domain account, but uses a machine in a workgroup, and cannot reset his
password when expiration creeps up.

Thanks in advance,
