When you log on as an Account Operator using User Manager for Domains on a
computer running Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or Windows 95 the
following message appears when you attempt to create or change the password
of any user in the Windows NT domain:
Administrative Password Verification
The operation you have initiated requires an
administrative password for the server listed
below. Please enter that password now.
Server Name: <Servername>
Password: <Enter password>
After you enter the administrative password for the server, the following
error message appears:

any number of days (limit of 999). By default, the Minimum Password
Age for any user is set to Allow Changes Immediately.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- Log on as one of the Windows NT domain administrators.
- In User Manager for Domains, select the user.
