Those settings are just stored in the registry, I only know where the
username is stored - I have no idea how the password stuff works. The
username is in:

  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service_name>\ObjectName

BUT, there's a utility from Microsoft called Service Controller Tool
(sc.exe) which is shipped with the server resource kits for NT and 2k.
This allows you do to something like this:

  sc config service_name obj= username password= password

And it will reconfigure the settings in the registry for you.
