An equivalent using a powershell cmdlet from the ActiveDirectory module:

Set-AdAccountPassword -Identity $AccountName -OldPassword (Read-Host -asSecureString "Enter the current password") -NewPassword (Read-Host -asSecureString "Enter the new password")

This cmdlet does not require a distinguishedname, so it is a bit easier to use.
