How to change windows RDP password

 To change the password for an RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) session on a Windows machine, you typically need to change the password of the user account that you use to log into the remote desktop session. Here’s how you can do it:


1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete: While logged into the remote desktop session, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard. This will bring up a menu with several options.


2. Choose "Change a password: Click on "Change a password" from the options provided.


3. Enter Current Password: You will need to enter your current password in the "Old password" field.


4. Enter New Password: Enter your desired new password in both the "New password" and "Confirm new password" fields. Make sure your new password meets any complexity requirements set by your organization or system policy.


5. Click "Change password: Once you have entered your old and new passwords correctly, click on "Change password". Windows will verify and apply the changes.


6. Log out and Log in: After changing the password, you may need to log out of the remote desktop session and log back in using the new password to ensure that it has been successfully updated.


If you do not have the option to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete within the RDP session (for example, on a non-Windows client), you might need to use alternative methods to change the password, such as logging into the remote Windows machine directly (if possible) or using administrative tools like PowerShell or Remote Desktop Services Manager on the server side.


It's important to note that changing the password this way only affects the user account on the remote Windows machine where the RDP session is established. If you are connecting to a Windows server, for example, you would need the appropriate permissions to change user passwords.
