Default how do you display the set password dialog for a given user?


In either C++ or from the command line. I need the commands for both XP Home
and XP Pro, which appear to use different dialogs for the set password
function.

The command line version is:

NET USER <username> <newpassword>

For the API call necessary from C++, you'd be better off posting your question to the programming groups.

Thank you for the command to set the password. What I am looking for is the
command to actually display the dialog so the user can do it without having
to pick the user and then the set password task.
