    Set Account Password

    Hello, Gurus, I am using NetUserGetInfo to get the user password, though I am the local Administrator, the USER_INFO_3 I got contains no password.
    So is there any way to get the password if the current user have enough right?
    any idea will be highly appreciated.

    There is no way to obtain a password. The main reason is
    that it is not stored anywhere, only one-way hash is.

    Thanx a lot, I got it. You are a codeguru.
    But just one q, the USER_INFO_3' usri3_last_logoff is always 0 but last_logoon is correct. Why the machine refuse to tell the last logoff time, it is harmless to the security, I think.
    Thanx ahead, and Regards!
