The MS KB says that all you have to do is create a virtual directory to the c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd\ folder, set it to run scripts and then if you go to it will allow you to change any password there. I've found that this isn't the case. Anybody know what else I might need to do to get it to work?

Thanks...

Try changing it to "aexp.htr". That's what the file is called on my system.

Note that unless you change the script a bit you can have a DOS situation- any user can lock out any other user's account.
 
Thanks for the reply but I realized that these asp pages (and it turns out they are asp pages on XP) require Active Directory. Oh well.

Thanks
