You can also use the netdom.exe tool from RSAT to reset the local computer password. Sign in failed machine with the local Administrator account (by typing, “.Administrator” to the logon window), open the elevated cmd.exe prompt, and run the following command:Netdom resetpwd /Server:DomainController /UserD:Administrator /PasswordD:Password

  • Server — the domain name;
  • UserD — username with domain admin or delegated privileges;

Netdom resetpwd /Server:corp.mydomain.com /UserD:enroute /PasswordD:*
