You could try using the Windows Resource Kit utility
cusrmgr.exe (Console user manager)
The command would be; cusrmgr -u administrator -m
\\machinename -P password
Nice and easy to script with too.

Subject: Changing Local Admin Password



I am currently looking for a way to remotely change
the local 
administrator password on our XP/2k/NT workstations,
without 
having to visit each computer or using the Local Users
and 
Groups mmc snap-in.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tools they use?
Would 
writing a script be the best solution?

Thanks,
-Jimmy
