Let's see what RDP does first. I'm reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol

So yes you can. You set up your remote session and use the system your IT provided to change passwords. But RDP is not changing the passwords directly as it's doing what is in the linked article.

Odd question. What made you think RDP has such a feature?

Try Ctrl+Alt+End instead of Ctrl+Alt+Del. Does that work? Good luck.

commented: I did try this, bit not available due to security settings. Might be affecting the previous comment.will know more later once I get to my laptop. +0

Ctrl+Fn+Alt+End

This brings up the option to change password on host computer.
