this works, but it only gives me one shot at it as the command prompt disappears after about 1 minute then i have to do the process again, half hour it takes.

i have changed the Administrator password but when i log in the account has been disabled. the PC is part of a domain. it has another username of "win7admin" as well as Administrator.  it appears to have a domain name of T-007.

what syntax do i use to change the passwords of these admin accounts for local PC?  "net user win7admin * /T-007"  doesnt work neither does "net user T-007/win7admin *"

Strelecs Boot CD is the more up to date, a life saver if ever there was one.
