Why each option
PsPasswd uses -u to specify remote authentication credentials, a target account username, and a new password; the -t flag is not part of the PsPasswd syntax.
The -t flag is not a recognized parameter in PsPasswd's command syntax; it is used by other Sysinternals tools such as PsKill to specify a timeout and has no function in PsPasswd.
The -u switch specifies the username used to authenticate against the remote system when changing passwords on a remote computer.
The account username argument identifies which local or domain account's password will be changed on the target system.
The NewPassword argument sets the replacement password for the specified account; omitting it causes PsPasswd to prompt for a password interactively.
