Change Windows password using Python -


i developing little password manager tool using python. allows central password manager , single use passwords, therefor nobody ever know password of server , won't need change passwords when employee goes other employer.

anyway, design of software phone-home (and elimiate lot of firewall/natting issues) , run service. can sync users of system, verify if passwords got correct. resetting of password after logging in struggling @ moment.

win32.net netuserchangepassword seemd have want. (i thought) called "net user *". after testing figured out called netuserchangepassword feature of msvc libs. issue doesnt work when enter old-password none.

the process runs full-admin. , should able change user passwords without knowing old (disclaimer: unix background, root (superadmin) can everything, ciorrect me if wrong windows os).

so, how can super-admin change password localusers without knowing old password using python scripting language?

thanks!

update:

def set_password(username, password):     win32com import adsi     ads_obj = adsi.adsgetobject("winnt://localhost/%s,user" % username)     ads_obj.getinfo()     ads_obj.put('password', password)     ads_obj.setinfo()   def verify_success(username, password):     win32security import logonuser     win32con import logon32_logon_interactive, logon32_provider_default     try:         logonuser(username, none, password, logon32_logon_interactive, logon32_provider_default)     except:         return false     return true  u = "test_usr" p = "thenewstrongp@s$w0rd!" set_password(u, p) if verify_success(u, p):     print "w00t workz" else:     print "continue googling"

guess what, doesn't work.

in example. change:

ads_obj.put('password', password) ads_obj.setinfo()

with:

ads_obj.setpassword(password)

issue solved :)

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
