    No, there is no special way but I suggest you use crtl-alt-delelte to change
    your password rather than reset in AD. You also may want to look in Event
    Viewer for any strange events that may suggest a problem. If you have more
    than one DC you may have a replication problem between them and using dcdiag
    may help in checking the health of a domain controller. It is on the install
    cd in the support/tools folder where you have to run the setup there. ---
