I sent that info to a friend and here's his reply:

Hi Don,

OK. I set up a restricted account and ran the command "control userpasswords2" which opens up the control panel applet and with the parameter of userpasswords. That does work!

However when you attempt to change the administrator's password, Windows will tell you that you have to belong to the administrator Group to do that!

MYTH BUSTED! ( At least on my 3 machines. ) *s*

I don't understand? If you were logged in under your administrator account then you could've used the control panel to change the password.
