Invoke "Change password" dialog via command

[tfvec]

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
