On a Dell Dimension running XP Pro, I have an Administrator account and two (limited) accounts. Neither of the users with the limited accounts can create a password for their account. When they try to they get an error message stating that: "The password cannot be changed". To the best of my knowledge neither of these accounts has ever had a password assigned to them. It is my understanding that even a limited account should be able to create and/or change their own password, but in this case Windows is not letting them.
Thanks.

Are the accounts setup so that the users are able to change the password? You should check the account configurations.

Life's more painless for the brainless.

Changing the account settings corrected the problem.
