Remote Desktop and "Change Password"

[Guest]

I am wondering if it is possible to change my password on thew machine I am
Remote Desktoping to?

The scenerio is this:
I am on an XP machine at home. I Telecommute to a work computer in another
state. I am unable to use the ctrl-alt-del on the work computer to get to
"Change Password" because it will go to my home computer instead. Recently I
had to share my username/password with another person (I was on vacation and
my work did it witrhout my ok) so they changed the password to a generic one.
- When I got back the IT department said I can use ctrl-alt-del to change
the password and when I explained I couldn't in Remote Desktop they asked me
for the password I wanted to use and they would change it for me. They did
this for me but I do not feel comfortable with that resolution.

Is there a way to change the password for my domain (like "Change Password")
on the remote desktop?

Thank you.
David

Try using Ctrl + Alt + End instead.
