For anyone who is wondering how to actually do this.

Dial up to the net on the remote machine.
Get a net connection on your machine.

Do a net use \\<IP Remote machine> /u:<remote machine name>\Administrator
<admin password>

using the excellent PSExec from sysinternals do

psexec \\<IP of remote> cmd - this runs a cmd window on your machine which
is actually running the commands on the remote machine

net user Administrator <newpassword>
