You could have the VB program edit the file where the passwords are stored but I don't think you can do that.

Why do you want to change the passwords this way? Microsoft did implement at least that much security...

They file where the passwords is stored is encrypted so it would be difficult, and I don't know why you would need that in the first place.

You would need to go through the api to update the password. Direct access to the file is not permitted, for obvious reasons.
