Easy. Create a batch file with the 100 user names you want, and assign the same password to all using the NET USER command.
This Technet article tells you what to do:
How to Change User Password at Command Prompt (Q149427)
SUMMARY
This article describes how to use the net user command to change the user password at a Windows command prompt. Only administrators can change domain passwords at the Windows command prompt.
MORE INFORMATION
To change a user's password at the commandprompt, log on as an administrator and type:
net user user_name * /domain
When you are prompted to type a password for the user, type the new password, not the existing password. After you type the new password, the system prompts you to retype the password to confirm. The password is now changed.
Alternatively, you can type the following command:
net user user_name new_password
When you do so, the password changes without prompting you again. This command also enables you to change passwords in a batch file.
Non-administrators receive a "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied" error message when they attempt to change the password.

So, on your Domain Controller, write a BAT file that looks like this:
NET USER BOB PassWord1
NET USER TOM PassWord1
NET USER JIM PassWord1
etc.
etc.
etc.
Then just double-click the BAT file and watch it fly!
hope this helps
