Reset Windows user password

[marinhd]

Someone changed the windows password for the local administrator account on a stand alone machine and decided to not write it down!!!

 

Luckily I had my fantastic PCMonitor installed!  I tried doing this using dsmod and going crazy trying to find it then looked into powershell but both were very difficult to use to do this and did not work.  Again this is a local account and not in AD.

 

Then I tried the following at the command shell:

 

net user administrator Password1 and the password was changed!

 

It would be nice if we could have an interface to change user passwords though... :-)

We have this planned for a future release (looks like it will be in v4.5).

Was this implemented? And if so where can I locate it?

Hi Sam,

Unfortunately this is not yet possible but you can reset AD passwords from the AD server module.

He mentioned it was not in AD :-) 

 

i agree, it would be nice if there was a bit more user management as well
