You could do the following from your workstation:

net use \\<workstationname>\ipc$ /user:<workstationname>\administrator *

Give the password.
Then you go to manage computers snapin and connect to the specific
workstation and change the administrator account. This should do the trick.

I don't think he means a local account on the server, I think he means a
domain account.

If that is what is being requested then there are not a lot of good options.

You could use a terminal server to log into and change your password that
way.

You can utilized the old IIS change password pages
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=331834

Or you can make a custom bunch of pages. VS 2005 has some great new objects
for just this kind of functionality.

Or purchase a 3rd party product.

Or you could just join the computer to the domin.

Yes, i want to change password of domain accounts remotely from Windows XP.
There is one functional solution, just press ctrl+alt+del on workstation,
then "Change password" and type:

User name: name of domain account
Log on to: name of Windows 2003 server
Old password: old password of domain account
New password: new password of domain account
Confirm new password: new password of domain account

But it is more complicated for users. Is there any way to do it with script?
Or any other solution?
Thanks for advise....
