Here are some command line alternatives:

1)
Changepw from http://www.joeware.net
(set passwords on accounts on remote domains or machines)
http://home.earthlink.net/~joewarenet/win32/zips/Changepw.zip

2)
CryptPwd.exe (local and remote)

4)
NETUSER.EXE by Matt Bobowski (local and remote)

5)
CUsrMgr.exe, in MS Resource Kit (local and remote)

You can use the "NET USER" command:
To change the password to be 'newpw' on an existing user 'administrator':

net user administrator newpw

combine it with the free psexec.exe to remotely change the password:

PsExec
