sc.exe config “Service Name” obj= “DOMAIN\User” password= “password” not working

Question

I want to set password for a service from the cmd. I got the option

sc.exe config \"Service Name\" obj= \"DOMAIN\\User\" password= \"password\"

Answer 1

This worked for me:

sc.exe stop "" 4:4:3
sc.exe config "" obj= "./" password= ""
sc.exe start ""

So, in short: stop the service before config the password and the start will work fine.
