If she can logon via VPN have her immediately lock her computer with
control -alt -delete and then try to unlock it with new credentials. If she
can do that it may reset the cached credentials. The Microsoft VPN client
also has an option to logon to the domain in it's properties which may be
worth a try if the previous method does not work. When you enable it the
user name, password, domain name will need to be entered. There is also an
option when you first logon to the computer to check the box that says "use
dialup connection" which could be tried. If that all fails, she probably
will have to connect the computer to the local domain to reset cached
credentials or call an administrator or help desk to reset her password back
to what it was and have them enable that password must be changed at next
logon assuming you trust them. --- Steve
