Hi,
We have two labs for classes with 12 computers in each. For security, we want to reset all the local admin password to the same password for every computer every three months. Is there an easy way to do it? A program to run automatically or something? Thanks.

I can't be certain, but I don't think there is an easy way of doing this. Think how easy it would be for someone to hack in and choose any password they like. Someone else may know of a way. Sorry.

Prolly can be done with Norton Ghost or scripts.
