Since years user is using Windows 98 to work on old hardware with MS DOS
software. Since 1 month this user can't log anymore on the domain.
But on the same Windows 98 computer other users can logon to domain.
I fear this user account may have issues, because user was not able to reset
his password.

Error message that user get when logging in to Domain:
"Domain password you supplied is not correct or access to your logon server
is denied"

I have looked confirmed if some sort of password caching is enabled on
Windows 98 machine? (per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140709)

Please assist,
Thanks in Advance,
Bipin

To reset, delete the appropriate user.PWL file in the windows
directory.

If you enable "disable password caching" on the workstation, this will
do away with a second local logon which you probably don't want..

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network

Value Name: DisablePwdCaching
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1=enabled)
