   Change Local administrator PSWD code nee

   We have a request from Auditing to modify the password an a local   
   workstation administrative account every 90 days.  We are developing two   
   programs - a VB6 GUI program that will allow the administrative support   
   person to enter a new password into an App and have that encrypted password   
   saved in a text file.  The second part is a VB6 program that only is a   
   command line program that will open the password text file, read the   
   encrypted password, de-encript it using the same logic that created it, and   
   then resets a specific local administrors account to the new password.   
      
   We already have the program that will encrypt a clear text password and save   
   that encrypted password to a file.  We also have enough of the command line   
   program written that will read the password file, de-encrypt the password   
   stored in the file and then (for now only) will display the de-encrpted   
   password on the screen.   
      
   What I need to know is the remaining portion of code that will allow me to   
   actually reset a specific local administrator's account to the new password.   
   Note the code will be run  using the machine's system account.   
      
   Does anyone have the code they can share with me that will perform the   
   password change?  If so, please post the code in the reply.   
      
   Thanks,
