inorder to the password change take place,u must have a PDC emulator running on a server,as u have a mixed environment i.e NT+2K,please check the PDC emulator is running fine.i suspect the prob is with PDC emulator.

by tumaradam

did u check the PDC emulator role ,this role is resposible for ur password changes and the authentication.

need a feedback
all the best
