Control-Alt-Delete from python or command line

Answer 1

You surely mean activating the Windows Security window. In this case:

import win32com.client

shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
shell.SendKeys("^(%{DELETE})")

UPDATE

The above code seems not to work because of the reasons described in other posts. In that case, the alternative is to create a similar window and call from Python the different programs/functions called by the real Windows Security window.

On reading OP's comments to the original question, OP's final need is to change a user's password. This can be done with:

from win32com import adsi
ads_obj = adsi.ADsGetObject("WinNT://localhost/%s,user" % username)
ads_obj.SetPassword(password)

I just tested this in my PC, so is final information (though not necessarily correct; this is up to the OP :-) ).

UPDATE 2: Copying the later as a separate answer as comments seem to indicate that all of the answer doesn't work. This is correct for the SendKeys proposition, which doesn't work.
