How do I script chntpw wizard

I am using SystemRescueCd to reset passwords on laptops I need to fix for work. SystemRescueCd supports autostart scripts http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_Run_your_own_scripts_with_autorun



The issue I'm having is with chntpw, which uses a type of "command line wizard" that requires me to send a command, then press 1 {Enter}, then press y {Enter}. I'm stuck at how to send the 1 and the y to the command line.

          This should work, for sending 1, y, q, and q again:



          chntpw -i SAM <<< $'1nynqnq'


          n to simulate hitting enter.
          q to quit the current menu



          You will have to adapt the chntpw command to get what you need.
