Win 2000 Password Expired

[Mr. Gupta]

Hi,

I drive my pc upgrade and want to change the past password as usual, and what happens?

I get a message that I not changed the password could be ..... after a few try, I have my old password no longer detected, when I enter the new password it crashes and goes back up and everything goes from the front off.

I am having a similar problem. We would like to change several of our administrative passwords but are concerned about the problems that will be created as a result. We have legacy applications as well as services and scheduled tasks that use various administrative accounts. Changing the passwords on the accounts that run those applications/services/tasks would likely result in dozens of services, tasks and programs not working.
