Thanks for explaining the behind the scenes action of SQL Configuration Manager. Here is a script I wrote that is specifically designed to change the passwords for all SQL Services on a cluster (also works for a list of machines)

You modify the listing of machines in the script and then at the command line you supply the username and the password.
