Use samba's SWAT tool which is part of samba software. It is webbased tool for managing samba and changing passwords.

Quote:
The password change page is a popular tool that allows the creation, deletion, deactivation, and reactivation of MS Windows networking users on the local machine. You can also use this tool to change a local password for a user account.
When logged in as a non-root account, the user must provide the old password as well as the new password (twice). When logged in as root, only the new password is required.
One popular use for this tool is to change user passwords across a range of remote MS Windows servers.
