C# code to change Windows Pass

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 09:23:00 GMT

Guys,

Do you have a C# code to change Windows Pass. Must have input as NewPass and OldPass.

Thanks,
Ionut

Is there a reason it needs to be C#? Blue Prism's Login Agent VBO already has VB.NET code that does the same thing.

there is one! I migrate all VB code to C#. And I need this to put all the basic functions into one big object that has all in it. This way I can share one object instead of sharing 20...

Thanks for your answer!

I see. Makes sense. That would be quite a large object. Have you seen any performance issues with doing that? Although, I suppose now that I think about it, an object that contains images for Surface Automation would likely be much larger than an object that just has the various functions/code in it. So I guess there's nothing wrong with doing that except that you'd have a big list in the action drop down. Interesting.

I glanced at the VB.NET code for Change Password and it is fairly simple. It shouldn't be too hard to convert it to C#, but you'll want some classes or whatever might be in the Global Code to go with it as well.

yeah, this did the trick.

PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);

UserPrincipal up = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, username);

up.ChangePassword(password, txtNewChangedPassword.Text);

up.Save();
