I'm issuing some "net user" commands to setup a local user on my desktop for some testing purposes and require setting a password longer than 14 characters. In doing so Windows barks back a propmt to confirm the long password, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to suppress that prompt and force the long password to be set. You can see the prompt I'm speaking of by issuing the following command…
net user MyUser MyPasswordIsReallyLong /ADD
It triggers the following prompt
The password entered is longer than 14 characters. Computers with
Windows prior to Windows 2000 will not be able to use this account. Do
you want to continue this operation? (Y/N) [Y]:
Also, could one of the more senior members help create the following tag: net-user

Apparently you can add
and the shell knows to interpret that as supplying a default answer of "yes" to the prompt.
