NetUserChangePassword info  Overview  Group

The NetUserChangePassword function changes a user’s password for a specified network server or domain.

Security Requirements

A server or domain can be configured to require a user to log on before changing the password on a user account. In that case, only members of the Administrators or Account Operators local group or the user himself can change the password for a user account. If logging on is not required, the user can change the password for any user account, as long as the user knows the current password.

    LPWSTR domainname,

    LPWSTR username,

    LPWSTR oldpassword,

    LPWSTR newpassword

A value of NULL in the domainname parameter specifies the logon domain of the caller.

username
Pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that specifies a user name. The NetUserChangePassword function changes the password for that user.
