I have just built a new domain controller from the ground up. I have set up all of my users with one default password and I clicked the box to make them all have to change their password at the next logon. When the client tries to logon, it says that the password has expired and to change it but once they try, they get "You do not have permission to change your password" I have group policy set up but there are no password policies yet. Also, the only groups that they are part of it Domain Users but even when I add a user to the Administrators group, they can't change their password either. Please help. Thanks, Jeremy

Set up a password policy. Set Minimum Password Age to zero. This allows users to change the password at any time.
I still get the error "You do not have permission to change your password". If you have any other ideas, let me know but this one didn't work. Thanks anyways, Jeremy

I had a similar problem a while back. MS article q258788 had a solution

I tried what both of the articles said and nothing changed. I still can't make it where anyone can change there password, not even people in the Administrators group. Thanks for your help, Jeremy

You may have already been here (noted from checking the must change p/w box), but I offer it anyway.
Open Active Directory Users & Computers, go to Domain node > Users and check properties on user's account.Click the Account tab and be sure the "User cannot change password" box is not checked.
Best of luck.

That's already been done. Besides, you can't have "User must change password at next logon" and "User cannot change password" clicked at the same time. Thanks, Jeremy
