I change my administrator password in my Active Directory based Domain and
then all of suddenly I could not expand anything in my Active Directory
Users and Computers till I change back to the old password, Is there a
special way to change an Administrator password?

Thanks
 
No, there is no special way but I suggest you use crtl-alt-delelte to change
your password rather than reset in AD. You also may want to look in Event
Viewer for any strange events that may suggest a problem. If you have more
than one DC you may have a replication problem between them and using dcdiag
may help in checking the health of a domain controller. It is on the install
cd in the support/tools folder where you have to run the setup there. ---
