Change administrative password on multiple machines
I am trying to use the pspasswd tool. I am not good at Syntax and I am having a difficult time trying to change the Admin password on domain computers. Please Help

I get: 'pspassed' is not recognized as an intermal or external command, operaple program or a batch file?? I typed it exactly as you stated. Any Ideas?
Well for one it's pspasswd, not pspassed. For another you'll need to be in the same directory as pspasswd.exe if it's not in the path.
It might be simplest to copy pspasswd.exe into C:\Windows first.

Alright, I have copied the pspasswd.exe into windows and I have extracted the files. I still get that the pspasswd.exe is not recognized as a command.

pspasswd @c:\computers.txt administrator <newpassword>
Alternatively you could use this vbscript to change the local administrator password on all domain computers:
