username is the same for all computers,it's a local administrator account.

Answer : Reset a password through a script

You can do this quickly and securely using the Microsoft utility PsPasswd.

Copy the IP Address column of your spreadsheet into a text file, so that there is one address per line.  Place pspasswd.exe in the same directory and then run a command like this:

1:	pspasswd @computerlist.txt username NewPwd

Open in New Window Select All
