Suppose you have to replace a blown NIC with one that uses a different driver. How are you going to get administrative rights on the workstation? You can't log into the domain as an administrator, because you have no network connectivity, but the local admin password is disabled... So you'd have to reinstall.

Then you wouldn't need to worry about changing the password.

I have found a way to crack this password, now I would like to change this at least every couple of days on all my machines. Is this a good idea? What are your thoughts?
