Hi Everyone,

So do you want to change the password for the built-in Administrator account or the one you created that is in the local Administrators group?

Really? You couldn't find a solution to this with a single google search?

How do you want to do it? Vbscript, EXE, Startup script, remote admin connection, sneaker net? How secure does it need to be? Will it be the same for every machine? Do users on the machines have admin rights so it really doesn't make a difference anyway?
