AutoIT password change script not picking up password

[MK-2]

This is the script I have that shows users and then lets you input a password into a box and reset it via that. But I made it output to a msgbox to see its working and all passwords are reset to '25':

$passbox = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 750, 65, 50, 20)

Func UpdatePass()
	$leftfqdn = ReadFQDNFromGUILeft()
	$leftsam = _ADDNToSamAccountName ($leftfqdn)
	$ObjUser = ObjGet("LDAP://" & $leftfqdn)
	$objUser.SetPassword (GUICtrlRead($passbox))
	$objUser.Put ("pwdLastSet", 0)
	$objUser.SetInfo ()
	MsgBox(0, "", "Password has been reset to " & $passbox & @CRLF & "User will be asked to change password at next logon")
EndFunc

everything else i need it to do works, i can update descriptions and usernames etc, its just the password is coming up as that.
its driving me mental!

Bit of a guess here as I'm not great with AutoIt:


Perhaps try

$objUser.SetPassword (GUICtrlRead & ($passbox))

can't do that, as the guictrlread needs to be told what to read,

the annoying thing is that two lines above i have it being used and works:
$ObjUser.Put ("sAMAccountName", GUICtrlRead($userbox))
$objUser.Put ("homeDirectory", GUICtrlRead($homebox))
$objUser.Put ("scriptPath", GUICtrlRead($logonbox))

its only the password one thats messing about

grrrrrrrrr, i dont think it was the actual function going wrong, it was my msgbox!

changed the msgbox to read MsgBox(0, "", "Password has been reset to " & GUICtrlRead($passbox) & @CRLF & "User will be asked to change password at next logon") and it worked. stupid thing!!!
