User unable to change pw after admin reset

[cdiross]

We have an admin at one of our remote locations who is having a problem changing their pw. after we've changed the pw manually for him he is forced to change. When he enters the new pw and then enters the one he wants and confirms it, he is prompted "you do not have sufficient priviliges to change password". We've had him log off and back in, reboot etc and it continually does the same thing. Is there some service or process hung up not allowing him to do so? He is admin to his machine, but that shouldn't even matter.

Thanks to all in advance.

Is this a local machine or domain account?

It is a domain account in AD. I should mention he is also domain admin / as well as local ws admin. I remember in win NT you could flush the pw list, but I don't think that pertains? The only way his pw will work is if I change it remotely in users and computers on his domain.

Why don't you have him type in his password when you are resetting and just not click the box for User Must Change Password at Next Login?

I hope you find this post helpful.

Did that, no matter what I did, it wouldn't allow him to change his password. We determined it was a corrupt OS after confirming change ability on two other systems.

Thanks all for your help.
