Thanks, Marin's suggestions worked for me. Unfortunately the command prompt
will only change it on the domain. We have a server that isn't on our
domain and are not allowed to join it to the domain. So when our password
changes on the domain we have to change it on the server. His suggestion of
the ctl-alt-delete and putting in the NetBIOS name worked perfectly.
