Well, I would be very uncomfortable if this were an automated process! To just have a script run and change my admin password every once in a while is a recipe for disaster, IMO!

But, if you just want a script to run that PROMPTS you to enter in a new password for your Admin account, then that is easy.

NET USER ADMINISTRATOR * /DOMAIN

That is it. Just put that line in a BAT file and schedule it to run every 7 days. When it runs a Command Prompt box will pop up on whatever system you are running it on (I suggest you run it on either a DC or your admin workstation) and it will ask for the new password for the Administrator account. It will sit there until someone types it in. Type it in, then hit Enter, and that is it! Password changed!

hope this helps
