admin password set to a routien

[Christopher Jon Jursa]

hello,

I have several computers on my network. I would like to set a consistant
password for each machine. I want each administrator password to be
different but with a slight alteration. I would like to set the
administrator password with some sort of algorithm.

For instance, for machines comp1, comp2 and comp3, I would like to set the
password to admin1, admin2 and admin 3.

Is there any way (other than manually) to set some sort of script on each of
my machines to automatically do this for all the machines in my lab?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Christopher,

You can command line:

net user <username> <newpassword>

e.g. net use admin1 newpass1
net use admin2 newpass2
...

Put it in batch file e.g. newpass.bat and run it from e.g. share on all PCs.

***
NOTE: If you will use this on your WindowsXP and change password of e.g.
admin2 while logged on as admin1 you will break EFS (Encrypted Files System)
for admin2.
