Normally for safety change password option comes after we press 'Ctrl+Alt+Del'. This cannot be done remotely as the sequence would get consumed by local system, instead of it being transmitted to remote machine over remote desktop. In such cases to change password use:

  1. Create a new shortcut with target value of:
    explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
  2. The name of shortcut can be change password and we can place it in C:\Users\Public\Desktop folder
  3. Now any user can remotely login and go to above location and open shortcut. It will open options where we can click on Change password and update our password remotely.
