Hi Jeremy,
Password belongs to a user. So, you may need to change password for a user
not computer. Thanks for Marin's good information. You may also refer to
the following article.
149427 How to Change User Password at Command Prompt
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=149427
To change a user's password at the command prompt, log on as an
administrator and type:
"net user <user_name> * /domain" (without the quotation marks)
When you are prompted to type a password for the user, type the new
password, not the existing password. After you type the new password, the
system prompts you to retype the
password to confirm. The password is now changed.
Alternatively, you can type the following command:
"net user <user_name>? <new_password>" (without the quotation marks)
When you do so,
the password changes without prompting you again. This command also
enables you to
change passwords in a batch file.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Jack Wang, MCSE 2000, MCSA, MCDBA, MCSD

| On windows98 we were able to use
| net password \\server userid oldpass newpass
|
| Is there a command on windows XP that will let us do the same thing?
| Because XP no longer has the net password.
