With the cleartext password in $opw, the following will generate a
unicode version (complete with the required double quotes (") around
it):

my $upw = pack "v*", unpack "C*", qq("$opw");

I would have to research to remember which Active Directory discussion
board I stole that from.... ie, if it does not work, please don't blame
me -- but it seemed to work (as long as the passwords were not too long)
in testing here.
