Chad,

I did find this reference in Microsofts script center, I've put the
following in my script:

strComputer = "."
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrator, user")
objUser.SetPassword "testpassword"
objUser.SetInfo

But it says theres an error 0x80005000 on line 2 char 1 (Set)
I've also tried putting the "." back to the local name of a test PC, but
get the same error.

Any idea?

Adrian
