Thank you for your response!<br />
When I run your script it prompts you to enter the new password for each user. I already change the passwords in my CSV file. I need a script that will automatically take the new password from the file. The CSV file has more 120 records.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I created multiple user accounts in AD using PowerShell and a CSV file. Now I need help modifying the same PowerShell script so I can change every user's password in the CSV file.<br />
I attached the original script I used for the accounts creation.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
