My remote machine password is going to expire soon. How can I change the password before it expires?

If you are a remote worker or a system administrator, you might encounter a scenario while accessing a remote system using RDP where you may need to change your remote system password. In such a situation, the combination of Ctrl + Alt + Del cannot be used because your local system will respond to this action.

If you are finding a way to change your windows password using RDP (Remote Desktop Connection), you must try the following steps.

Use

CTRL + ALT + END

This combination is meant explicitly for remote desktop connections and can be safely used to change passwords because it won't be intercepted by the local OS in any way remotely.  The END key is usually located on the right-side top line of the keyboard. It may vary from machine to machine.

Alternatively, you can also access the "change password" screen using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard. To activate it, click on the Start menu on the remote machine, then type "osk" and click on the On-Screen Keyboard icon that will show up.

Now we can press CTRL + ALT using the hardware keyboard (physical keyboard) and then simultaneously click the third key (DEL) using the On-Screen Keyboard, thus determining the three-finger key combo on the remote PC.

With the help of the steps above, you can successfully update your remote machine's password.
