    Invoke "Change password" dialog via command


    Hi,

    is there a way to open the "Change a password..." dialog in Windows 7 via command line? I dont want to got the way through CTRL+ALT+DEL + "Change a password...". I need a command which opens this dialog for me.

    Unfortunately, rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL password.cpl is not working on Windows 7...

    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Thomas

    Hi, welcome to the forums :)

    You have 2 options...(via Elevated Command Prompt)

    net user user * will ask for a new password
    net user user 123456 will set the new password as 123456 (or whatever you type)

       Note
    "user" is the user name to change
