Hi

I’m trying to workout how to click the Change Password… button in System Preferences Accounts window

I have this so far but it doesn’t seem to like the Press Button

Can anyone help?

– OPEN SYSTEM PREFERENCES
tell application “System Preferences”
activate

--- OPEN ACCOUNTS PREFERENCE PANE
set the current pane to pane "Accounts"

end tell
tell application “System Events”
tell process “System Preferences”
Press button “Change Password…” of window “Accounts”
end tell
end tell
