we're on windows server 2003 in a domain. im a newbie to this. a user on
windows xp forgot his password. i logged onto his machine as the
administrator and changed his password using compmgst.msc. and rebooted.
logging in as him, it doesnt take the new password.
any ideas?
id like to post this on a windows server 2003 newsgroup (to learn how to do
this from ther server as well) but theres so much information on the server
page i cant find what should be just a simple link to click to get to the
windows server 2003 newsgroup. sometimes less is better.
thanks in advance for any help.
 
For domain users you need to reset the password in Active Directory Users
and Computers. You changed the password of a local user account on that
computer.
