Read this first: Security requirements.

Basically there are two cases:

a) You have administrative privileges on a machine - you can overwrite the old password without knowing what it was.

Set identical password  
 
Set random password  

b) You do not have administrative privileges on a machine (remote domain, workgroup machine) - you need to specify either one of the below listed passwords with the LogonAs command:

·The remote domain password  
·The remote machine local administrator password  
·The old password for the account for which you want to change password  

LogonAs, set password, Logoff
