Yes. Let me explain. This is a small network, just 5 computers in my home
and frankly, it's never come up that I had to "reset" any passwords, so I've
never done it before. I looked around in the Users and Domains tool on the
server but didn't see an option to reset a user's password. That's clearly
what I'd like to do, I'll go hunt for it. Sorry for the dumb question, and
thanks for the response!
