Program for creating accounts in Windows NT Server 4 NT

Hi experts,

I need to reset Administrator password and create another accounts with administrative privilege. I want to write program to do this as following:
1. The program has to be EXE file.
2. I need to force the new accounts to change password in next login
3. The accounts has to be created in DOMAIN
4. It has to be compatible with Windows NT 4 SP 6A

Any one can help which programming language should I use? And how?

Thanks

You won't be able to make it work on Windows if you don't have a password with administrative privileges to logon... as soon as it starts, C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM and C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SECURITY will get locked, so you won't be able to read nor write them manually...
