When a user logs on to our network and they are prompted to change their password a security setting somewhere is preventing them from changing their password.

I cannot find what is causing this.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this.

This happens to all users, regardless of the type of account they have.

The accounts do not have the "User Cannot Change password," setting enabled.

This is a NT4 Domain

Thanks for the help!

Open up User Manager for Domains on your PDC.
Go to Policies -> Account
It must be the Minimum Password Age section (the top right of the window).
The option Allow Changes Immediately should be selected.
Probably what is happening is you have the option Allow Changes In XXX Days option selected.
So, change it to Allow Changes Immediately.

hope this helps

1.Check in UserManager\Policies\AcountPolicy-and disable:
2.Also tell users if you enabled Password history, Minimum password length, etc.
