Its possible, you need a VBS script to run at startup (not login) and change password
e.g.
set wshnet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

'Set user object = \Administrator
computername = wshnet.computerName
set usr = GetObject("WinNT://" & computername & "/Administrator")

'*****Specify new password here*****
password = "newpasswd"

'Change password for the user object
usr.SetPassword password
usr.SetInfo
