Change passwords in device

1 New Member
Hello,

I need help with some password changes that I have to do in some iPAQs.

The company that I work has 3 models of iPAQ and 3 different versions of Windows Mobile (Microsoft Pocket PC 4.20.0, Win Mobile 2003 SE e Win Mobile 5.0).

The devices are configured to use Dial up or Cell Phone connection (Bluetooth or infrared).

Recently we developed a program that check the user password expiration date in Active Directory Server every time the user connect the device, if the expiration date is <= 3 days the user has to change the password.

The program check if the new password is valid (according to the security policies) and then the program notify the user if the change was completed successfully.

After that the user has to change manually the ActiveSync Password, which is used to connect to the exchange server, change the outlook mailbox password, which is used to connect the pop3 account, and the dial up (ras) connection password.

I’d like to know if it’s possible develop a program that automatically change these passwords configured in iPAQ, when the user change the network’s password.

If someone have any idea of how to change one of these passwords please answer my question. It doesn’t matter if the solution is in C++, C#, VB…

Any answer will be very helpful, because I didn’t find anything useful in my researches yet.

I’ve found the registry entry that store the Active Sync and the RAS password, but I don’t know if is possible to override these information in the registry.

The Active Sync Password entry in the registry is:
- HKeyCurrentUser \Software\Micro soft\AirSyn\Con nection\passwor d
- HKeyCurrentUser \Software\Micro soft\ActiveSyn\ Partners\{4F…}\ password (Win Mobile 5.0)

The Ras Password entry in the registry is:
- HKeyCurrentUser \comm\Rasbook\[ConnectionName]\password
- I didn’t find this information in Win Mobile 5.0

Thanks

Michelle Santos

PS.: Sorry about my English, I’m Brazilian and it's not very good.

Hi, I have clients using an application that allows users to change their passwords. The application uses the 'ALTER USER xxx IDENTIFIED BY.....' command. What I need to do is use Oracle to capture the username and password and send the info to another Oracle instance on a different server and update that users password. Basically I need to keep the user's password in sync between two different databases.

Hi: I have created a secured database for a client. For various reasons, I don't want the client to have full persmissions for the database; they aren't in the admins group.

I want this group to be able to do some basic admin-type stuff, including adding new users and clearing passwords if users forget theirs. I can't seem to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
