Please specify what Operating system your server is using and what remote access application you used.

the simplest way is to change your password back to the old one, log into the server change your password on the server. Now to can re establish your new password on your workstation.

You could also go to the server console login with the old password and then change the password to match the new one.

If it is in fact a Terminal services session, just log back into the server and log off properly. Alternately, use Terminal Services Manager from another machine to log off the session.
I have seen this kind of thing happen when someone uses thier user accout to setup scheduled tasks. (like running SETI on buisness machines...) I prefer to use the AT command to avoid that problem. Otherwise, you have to use a service account that does not require password changes.

Go to terminal services manager and disconnect the user shown (you)

then just to make sure, on System > Remote Tab, remove your account then add it back in. Set the appropriate permissions.

Give that a try and let me know.
