The REGISTRY command must be used to load the Registry for a Windows
NT/2000 installation on a hard drive before PASSWORD will work. Typing
PASSWORD with no parameters results in the list of local accounts present
on the system to be printed. A changed password will be effective the next
time you boot into the modified configuration.
You can only change the password for one account for each installation
before rebooting the target installation and letting the password change take
effect.
