Track Password Changes 1

[ProfReynolds]

Does anyone know of a way to determine the most recent time a password was changed on an account in Windows 7?

I'm not trying to recover the password, log in without a password, or anything like that... A customer of mine is concerned that someone may have changed that password on a system without authorization and wants me to find out when the password was last changed.

Is there a log of password changes or anything like that?

Thanks!

Have you had a look through the Security Log in the Event Viewer? If it were to be recorded in there, and I'm not sure it is as I do not see a Filter item for change of password, one way to check would be to actually change a password and see what entries appear in the Event Viewer, if any at all.

Open a dos box and typ;

net user XXXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the login name)
