With this button you can on the security dialog auto-type your old password, then change it in keepass and then auto-type the new one. On the keepass website there are instructions to add a custom toolbar button that only types your password (Note : at the bottom of the paragraph from that link there is an xml file provided that automatically creates the button in keepass). Very late answer but I found a way to do this so I'm adding this for future users.


Just a few words together with proper capitalization and punctuation will meet the requirements of all but the oddest security setup while still being easy to recall and enter. Sentences are both easy to recall and can be very, VERY secure quite easily. This means that sentences are a viable password option. Unless your enterprise has some weird settings, your password has been able to have spaces for a long time. Personally, I'm not sure I'd do that for one of my users because, frankly, there are better, easier, ways to get a secure password.

The other method would be to ask one of the techs to allow you to open your KeePass database on their computer and use the AD Users and Computers console on their computer to paste your password in. The problem you'll have is that both of these commands require the console be run as Administrator, likely Domain Administrator, and it's unlikely your account has these permissions. OR- net user *username* *new_password* /domain In a domain environment you have to use the domain tools to change domain accounts: īecause domain accounts are all "local" ONLY on the Domain Controller (DC), you'd have to be on the DC in order to use NET USER.Īs you're not on the DC, you'll have to use something else, but you'll probably have problems: dsquery user -samid *username* | dsmod user -pwd *new_password*
