TITLE   :How to Change Password on Remote Machine or Domain in NT
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The NET PASSWORD command is not present in the version of NET.EXE
included with Windows NT. Therefore, the password cannot be changed at
the command line as was possible with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
and Microsoft LAN Manager.
 
To change your password on a remote machine or domain (assuming you
have a user account on the remote machine or domain):
 
1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL.
 
2. Select Change Password.
 
3. In the From box, type the remote machine name or domain name.
 
4. In the Old Password box, type your old password.
 
5. Type your new password in the New Password and Confirm New
   Password boxes.
 
This will successfully change your password on the remote machine or
domain, provided the creator of your user account allows the password
to be changed.
