hello,

this may caused uac , in case have run scripts using elevated prompt (i assume running locally on servers).

if running script change remotely have make sure credentials inserted in script remote execution valid (you have insert local administrator account valid password computers in workgroup).

anyway, can use net user command reset local user passwords. more details here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/149427
