Remote Cntl > Reset Password

Use this function to set the password for any user account on a managed machine. Use this tool to reset the Administrator password on all your managed machines when:

• Your Administrator password is compromised.

• Someone leaves your organization who knew the Administrator password.

• It is time to change the Administrator password as part of a good security policy.

The username must already exist on the target machine. If the username does not already exist, checking the Create new account checkbox creates a new account with the specified password.

Reset Password returns an error if you attempt to reset the password for a username that is not already created on the managed machine or if you create a password for an account that already exists.
