Change admin password in DOS

[ale52]

I know I've seen this but can't remember where...old age strikes again 

How does one go about resetting the admin password in a DOS window?  I'll write the answer down this time

well if you are an admin then you can try the following code in a batch file:

Code: [Select]

NET USER [ADMIN ACCOUNT] [password]

you will need to change the account name and the password sections but if you have access this will do it through batch.

thanks,
