I changed the administrator password for the server, after
wards when I tried to use the active directory and users,
I was not able to access the application. it's telling
like that logon attempt fails, Is there any where I have
to change the passwords, please give me a clear idea.

Thanks and regards,
Binu
 
Have you tried changing the password back to what it was before? Perhaps you
have service accounts running under the administrator account. Not a wise
thing to do but it can happen. If you do, you will also need to change the
password in the Services console.
 
Another thing that can cause this is not logging off of all machines after
the password change has taken effect. Go ahead and log off and back on,
but be sure to make a back up administrator account just in case.

You should also verify that Active Directory replication is working
properly. If Users and Computers is connecting to another DC, and the
password change has not replicated to this DC, you could see this problem..

Install support tools from the \support\tools directory on the Windows 2000
CD on each DC, then open a cmd prompt and run repadmin /showreps and look
for any failures.
