Well, I was fooling around in batch, and I had a question. Specifically about pressing "enter" for the user without them having to do it. Let's say I wanted to change my password to the letter "e":


C:\Documents and Settings\Beck>net user beck *
Type a password for the user:
Retype the password to confirm:
The command completed successfully.



Now, I want to know how, in batch, to get it to press "enter" for me. I start with


net user beck *


I get the "type a password"
I want to press enter for no password, without any input from the user.
Is there a way to do this?

*bump*
Help, please.
This thing is really bugging me.

Thanks anyway. Maybe one of my friends will come on AIM. Well, one of the two computer-savvy ones. :mad:

You would have to echo the ascii code for return to do this. (I don't have an ascii table in front of me but I believe it is #013. )

so:

@ echo off
net user beck *
@ echo 013

?

I've gotta go for the night, but thanks for your help Alien Born.
I'll check this tomorrow morning.

I'm a coder, but I haven't done much with batch files in years.

I'll try and figure it out and let you know as soon as I'm able. :)

If you use:
net user Beck password [new_password]
That will set the password to whatever new_password is, or set it to an empty password if not provided.
