How to change the password from command prompt

[Ankur Bakliwal]

Hi, Can anybody please help me to find out the way to change the password from command prompt. I have mapped a folder of some other server (lets say a) on my pc (lets say b) with different userid (pqr\myUser ) and password. Now i want to change the password of this user (pqr\myUser ) from command prompt. This user belongs from different domain (lets say pqr) and computer b (my pc) is in defferent domain (lets say zzz). i tried NET USER ( c:\>NET USER myUser mynewPWD ) but its not working. Please can anybody suggest me some command like net user.

Thanks, Ankur Bakliwal

The command does work, but you can only change passwords in the current domain (the one the admin is logged in as). It doesn't work on foreign domains, and only an admin can use this command to change passwords.

Yes Dave, i logged into the server with domain (pqr), like pqr\myUser, but the pc b (my pc) is not in same domain. It is in different domain. Can it be possible?

Thanks, Ankur Bakliwal

I already told you the circumstance under which NET USER won't work.
