When a password is expired i have problems to replace it with a new
password on Windows clients:

With kinit:

Password expired. You must change it now.
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
kinit(v5): Password change failed while getting initial credentials

With kpasswd and Network Identity Manager: "failed to decrypt password"

On a Linux client I am able to update the password without problems
using kpasswd or kinit. Those errors only happens on MIT kerberos for
Windows, any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance
