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))

[MK-2]

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!!!

Hey MK-2 I know this is an old post but I was wondering if you has the full script and #includes for resetting a users password. Ive been playin with this for a while and still cant get it to work with partially my script and yours. I tried finding the functions as well and cant find those either.
