Ways to change password in Remote Desktop user session


Change password in Remote Desktop

There are many ways to change your password. Of course, when you’re working on your physical computer, you may just hit CTRL-ALT-DEL, but this won’t work in an RDP session

Method-I

CTRL-ALT-END

Sometimes (but not always), CTRL-ALT-END helps you "ctrl-alt-delete” the session to change your password in the remote session. CTRL-ALT-END is the equivalent to CTRL-ALT-DELETE in RDP. However, it depends on the OS-version session settings whether this works or not.

Method-II

Run the shell

You can directly launch the shell to get the Windows Security Options displayed. To do so, open the Run-box and type cmd and press enter or open a command prompt and copy-paste:

C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
