1) the (default) password is a BINARY value in the Registry (unless you
want to rewrite the program!)
2) you probably don't want the un-hashed password visible to users (or they
could VNC into a machine too).
The trick is to use regini (from the NT4 server resource kit) or other
command-line registry editing tool that can set BINARY registry values
(.REG files with REGEDIT can't).
Note that the registry value for the password is only read when the server
starts, so changing it in today's login script (for example) won't cause it
to take effect until after the next reboot (tomorrow?) when the server has
had a chance to restart itself.
Of course, you can use some other tools to compare current settings with
network settings, and if they're different, change the current setting to
match, then restart the server...
