unicodePwd
also known as Unicode-Pwd
Active Directory's password attribute. You never read it, and you do not set it as plain text: the value is the new password wrapped in quotation marks and encoded UTF-16LE, and AD only accepts the write over an encrypted connection, LDAPS or sign-and-seal. Getting all three of those right is most of the fight when a reset script fails.
