Hi folks,

I created an administrator p/w that includes the ALT-4 character. When
I attempt to change it the Change Your Password window, the window
simply closes since pressing ALT-4 is equivalent to clicking the close
button. (Duh! Talk about outsmarting yourself ...) Does anyone know if
there is a command line utility that changes passwords?

Thanks for your help!
