The Change Password tool allows a Configuration Manager console user to change another user's password. Options allow you to set the new password, force the user to change the password at next logon, and/or unlock the account. This tool can be run on individual or multi-selected users, but not user groups or user collections.
This tool connects to Active Directory to run the password change and the specified options.
To change a user password:
1. In your Configuration Manager console navigation panel, click Users.
2. Right-click on a user.
3. Click Right Click Tools > Change Password.
4. Enter and confirm a new password.
5. Enable User must change password at next logon (optional). If the user's account is set up with a password that doesn't expire, you can override that setting by checking Disable Password Never Expires.
6. Enable Unlock user account if it is locked (optional).
7. Click Change Password.
