As long as you have domain admin rights, you could use a script like this:

dim objNetwork
set objNetwork=CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
strUser=InputBox("Enter the username:","Change Password","jdoe")
If strUser="" Then WScript.Quit
Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & objNetwork.UserDomain & "/" & strUser & ",User")
oUser.SetPassword(strUser)
'uncomment next line if you want user to be forced to change password
'oUser.Put "PasswordExpired",1
oUser.SetInfo

Thank you for your help, I will check it tomorrow and let you know if everything is ok.
One question more. In your script i don't need to enter the domain name.

No. As long as you are running the script on a computer that is in the same domain, the script gets the domain name from the Wscript.network object. This works even if you have Active Directory.
