Change Local Administrator Password script by passing variable from webpage

I am trying to make a very simple webpage were I can enter in a new password for the local administrator in a text box and click a button that sets a variable that I can use in a bat file.

How can I do this? Do not need to focus on the webpage part just the setting of the variable and passing it to a bat or vbs or something I can plug into.

$password = "MyNewPassword"
$user = [ADSI]"WinNT://./Administrator"
$user.SetPassword($password)
$user.SetInfo()

vbs:

strPassword = "MyNewPassword"
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://./Administrator,user")
objUser.SetPassword strPassword
objUser.SetInfo

So basically I have a webpage that looks like this. attached.

My Form code is below. Also checks to make sure both entered passwords are the same.

How do I get the password entered in this webpage to a VBS script?

<form onSubmit="return checkPw(this)" name="cusfiles" method="get" action="changepassword.vbs">
	<table border=0 summary="Changepassword">
	<tr>
		<td>Password:</td><td><input type=password name=pw1 size=20></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Re-Enter:</td><td><input type=password name=pw2 size=20></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value="Submit"></td>
	</tr>
	</table>
