If you have ADSI installed, you probably can do it through that interface.ÿ Check out <A HREF = 'http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=1896'>http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=1896</A>.ÿ I'm pretty sure that this this large application includes a user/password management module.

Not sure that Windows 2000 will let you get the user password, but it will let you change it by the use of the PwdChangePassword API call.

Declare Function PwdChangePassword Lib "mpr" Alias "PwdChangePasswordA" (ByVal lpcRegkeyname As String, ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal uiReserved1 As Long, ByVal uiReserved2 As Long) As Long

Not sure what lpcRegkeyname is, but a quick search on the internet should find this.

hwnd
Handle of the parent window

uiReserved1
Reserved. Should be set to 0

uiReserved2
Reserved. Should be set to 0
