[Samba] smbclient says NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_MUST_CHANGE - how to change password?
After a thorough google and marc search i'm shocked to find this problem unmentioned... How does one go about changing the windows password from a unix machine with no physical access to the windows machine sharing things? samba 2.2.3a (debian woody) windows2000 server thanks! brad note: here's my latest attempt. I tried this with and without a -c parameter smbclient //coco2/c$ -c "net user bwlang *" -U bwlang added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.95 ( 192.168.0.95 ) Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_MUST_CHANGE -- Bradley W.

If you prefer a command line tool, smbpasswd has the same functionality - check the -U and -r options. The smbpasswd man page documents the password change options. If you need further help email me.
