Hi!
I used the following code to change a user's windows
password:

DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntry;
string dirEntry = string.Format(@"WinNT://{0}/
{1},User", "COMPUTER_NAME", "cyberuser");
myDirectoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(dirEntry);
myDirectoryEntry.Invoke("setPassword", "abcde");
myDirectoryEntry.CommitChanges();

This code works fine when I run it as a console
application. But when I run this code in a web service
method, the password doesn't change. I don't receive an
error or an exception, but the password remains the same.
Any solutions?

Thanks in advance.
