Whenever I change the administrator password in WIN2000 it doesn't change to the new password? Does this mean that I have a wrong configuration in my domain controller policy? I think there was a topic posted here in Tech Republic but I cannot seemto find it in my emails.

Are you running Active Directoty? If so, find the admin account and change the password from there (right-click account name, select Reset Password). If access is denied, check the group membership for that account.
If you are not running AD, make sure that you have a solid network connection while changing the password. If there is a connection, check for replication times between your password change and it's replication to the PDC (or BDC).
Hope this helps!
