Using OLE DB Extensions in SQL Server Native Client 10.0 (SQL Server 2008) to Change the Password of a SQL Server Authentication User Account
The SQL Server Native Client team received some feedback asking for a code sample that shows how to use OLE DB extensions in SQL Server Native Client to change a password for a SQL Server Authentication user account.
Here's the code. Note that before you run this code, you need to modify it to enter the name of the user, the old password, and the new password:
