ADAM users and Windows users are different animals.I would
recommend having a look at the Step by Step Reviewers Guide
that comes with the ADAM install to understand the options.

The MS-User.ldf schema extension does not contain all the
Windows user attributes e.g. sAMAccountName because
it is not a Windows User object, you can add attributes but that
will require you to make the corresponding schema extensions
yourself. Likewise ADAM user account control options are
handled differently.

As for setting the password of an ADAM user please see the
MSDN sample:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adam/adam/setting_a_user_password.asp

and review the ADSI and AD newsgroups via Google for setting
password issues in ADAM.

Good Luck
