RE: Cannot Change Administrator Password

Chace,
Thanks for your reply.
When I selected Reset Password after pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, it worked! The
password did change. I'm still curious why it did not change when I tried it
from AD Users and Computers. Incidentally, I noticed that when I changed it
in ADU&C, the response was that the Administrator's password template was
changed. Of course, as I indicated originally, the actual password did not
change. When I did it from the CTRL+ALT+DEL window, the response was that
the password was changed.
I always logged on as the administrator to change the password. We could
always change domain users' passwords from ADU&C. And the antivirus program
was not an issue.
Thanks again for finding a solution for us. If you have any more insight on
why the password change did not take effect from ADU&C, I would appreciate
that information.
Thanks again,
John

Hi,.
Thank you for posting here.
It is really weird, in order to get a clear picture on this issue, please
let me know the following question.
Do you logon as Domain administrator to change password?
I understand you use AD Users & Computers (dsa.msc) or the Users list in
the SBS Console, right-click Administrator and choose Reset Password.
If you do CTRL+ALT+DEL on the server while logged in as Administrator and
choose Change Password. What is the result?
Do you install any antivirus software on SBS Server? Please temporary
uninstall it and try again.
Can you reset a domain user's account? Please do the testing and let me
know the result.
Hope this helps, I will be here waiting for your update.
Have a nice day!
Best Regards,
Chace Zhang (MSFT)
