how can i change my password from a public pc

Environment here:
XP Pros w/NT 4.0 Domain. A lot of public PCs auto-logged
in as a generic account.

Need to:
Allow users to change their individual domain accounts
from public PCs

Problem:
Unless you are a Domain Admin, you can't change any other
password other than the one you're currently logged in as
EVEN IF you have the correct current password and you
change the user to the desired user name (accessing Change
Password from the CTRL/ALT/DEL window).

Any idea how I can allow this?

Thanks!!!!

Use psexec.exe (www.sysinternals.com) to establish a
session under the other account (for which you know the
password), then use the "net user" command to change
the password for this new account.
