<div>
In VB, check out API call NetUserGetInfo<br />
<br />
Lib &quot;Netapi32.dll&quot; <br />
<br />
It may also be done using NT scripts and resource kit utilities.<br />
<br />
eg:<br />
<br />
net user<br />
<br />
and <br />
<br />
addusers.exe<br />
<br />
However you do it, remember you will require admin privileges on the local machine. (A quick way is to become a member of Domain Admins on the same domain as the workstation).<br />

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I was trying to change the passwords remotely.<br />

I'm using NetUserSetInfo to set the password.

I'm trying to develop a system using VB6 (on NT4) which changes the local admin password on any PC on our network.<br />
<br />
I can do this no problem if I know the current local admin password...but unfortunately some of our users have been changing this as they go.<br />
<br />
Is there anyway I can either override the password (I have admin rights) or any API to return the password for the local admin on any PC?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
