How 'bout something like this:

On Error Resume Next
Set UserObj = GetObject("WinNT://WTILTONW1/TestUser")
UserObj.ChangePassword "blahblah", "bleablea"
UserObj.SetInfo
Set UserObj = Nothing
If err.number = 0 Then
   WScript.Echo "Password Change Failed"
Else
   WScript.Echo "Password Change Was Successful"
End if
