"Change password" disabled?

[OxygeN]

Hello all!
I'm having a big trouble with Windows XP Embedded on an HP t5700 ThinClient.
I need to be able to change my domain logon password, but as I press
"CTRL+ALT+DEL" I see just three out of six buttons enabled.
The disabled ones are:
- Lock Workstation
- Change Password
- Task Manager

Now, does anybody know if it's possible to enable them? At least, the
first ones (Task Manager ain't important).

Thank you very much!

There are some ways to disable the button you mentioned. But it would be useless information to you if you were not the developer of
the XPe image you've got on your device.
The changes would depend on what's included in the image.

You would be better off contacting the device manufacturer to get some better help.

As to the password.. You can use "net user /domain" command (see the command help first) to change your domain password.
Hope the net command is included and working on your device.

Try setting the following reg key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableChangePassword"=dword:00000000

Or you could also just delete the value all together.

HTH,

Reading Tony's reply I realized you may have an access to regedit from your account.
Then just change the following values: (set to 0)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableLockWorkstation"=dword:00000001
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000001
"DisableChangePassword"=dword:00000001
