Hi,
What I would like to change the NT password and the Windows password in one
program. I have found two ways of changing the Windows NT password.
1. PwdChangePassword
2. PPChangePassword
Can anyone help me with the function I should use to change the Windows 95
password or does anyone know of a program that does this?

Thanks,
Ron Rong

        Don't know where you got those names from but they don't exist as
Microsoft APIs in NT workstation or NT Server at least 4.0 or 5.0 b1.  From
what I've seen so far They must have come from some third party dlls.
therefore I can't give you any help with them in 95.

Sorry.

What I did was the following:
Option Explicit
Type LOGONINFO
  lpUsername As String
  lpPassword As String
  cbUsername As Long
  cbPassword As Long
End Type
Declare Function PPChangePassword Lib "msnp32.dll" _
   (lpAuthentInfo As LOGONINFO, _
    lpPreviousAuthentInfo As LOGONINFO, _
    ByVal dwAction&) As Long
Declare Function PwdChangePassword Lib "mpr.dll" (ByVal lpProvider$, ByVal
hwndOwner&, ByVal dwFlags&)
The following header file I used "PWDSPI.H"
/*****************************************************************/
/**               Microsoft Windows for Workgroups              **/
/**           Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp., 1991-1994          **/
/*****************************************************************/
/* PWDSPI.H -- Password provider interface definitions.

 */
#ifndef _INC_PWDSPI
#define _INC_PWDSPI
#ifndef RC_INVOKED
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif  /* __cplusplus */
#endif
typedef struct _CHANGEPWDINFO {
    LPTSTR lpUsername;
    LPTSTR lpPassword;
 DWORD cbPassword;

DWORD APIENTRY
PwdSetPasswordStatusA (
    LPCSTR  lpPassword,
    DWORD dwIndex,
    DWORD dwStatus
    );
DWORD APIENTRY
PwdSetPasswordStatusW (
    LPCWSTR  lpPassword,
    DWORD dwIndex,
    DWORD dwStatus
    );

#ifdef UNICODE
#define PwdSetPasswordStatus  PwdSetPasswordStatusW
#else
#define PwdSetPasswordStatus  PwdSetPasswordStatusA
#endif // UNICODE
#ifndef RC_INVOKED
#ifdef __cplusplus

Is there anyone out there that has any idea how I should change the Windows
95 password in a progragram written in VB?

Thanks,

Ron Rong

: Declare Function PwdChangePassword Lib "mpr.dll" (ByVal lpProvider$,
ByVal
: hwndOwner&, ByVal dwFlags&)

        The Version of mpr.dll on my 95 boxes does not contain the function
PwdChangePassword
I keep getting bad function name.  maybe it was in rev a.  but not in 95b.

Sorry.

: Declare Function PPChangePassword Lib "msnp32.dll" _
:    (lpAuthentInfo As LOGONINFO, _
:     lpPreviousAuthentInfo As LOGONINFO, _
:     ByVal dwAction&) As Long

        The DLL msnp32.dll "Network provider for Microsoft networks" does contain
the function PPChangePassword, however, I've found no usage on it.. If you
already have the code for C++ just
convert it for VB.  Where's the problem...

I have been trying to accomplish the same password change in 95 and NT.

I do not understand the syntax of C++ very well.  Can someone post a VB
example.

Thanks & Much Appreciated,
