Use psexec from www.sysinternals.com to call "net user" on the remote
machine.

Maybe you can use a NetBIOS browser query to obtain a machine list:

for /f "skip=3 tokens=2" %%a in ('browstat dumpnet') do (
for /f "tokens=1 skip=3 delims=\ " %%i in ('browstat view %%a') do (
psexec \\%%i net user Administrator NewPassword
))
