Modify the password of the service account?

Hi,

I'd like to be able to modify the auto-generated password of the service
account created during installation. I'm running XP Home which limits access
to some of the snap-ins available on XP Pro. I've not been able to work out
how to make the change. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I believe you can do this from the command-line with the "net user"
command. Googling should come up with plenty of examples.

Great. That did the trick. For some reason I was under the impression that I
could only use net user from XP Pro. I'd been playing around trying to
execute the command remotely from an XP Pro box on the network.

Thanks a lot.
