Ok, thanks. This worked sufficiently to get back on the system, but I would like to report my results in case the information is useful to anyone else.
(I primarily use linux.)
1. I could not log into the domain with my user and the old password or the new one, even though the nrserver command line password change reported success. I believe this is due to #3 below.
2. I created a new user via the command line and logged in via the new user.
3. When I logged in via the new user, I discovered that some of my computers had reconnected via the old user/password combination. That is, the computers that were previously online stayed online, even though I had shut down the server and broken all the connections. They apparently came back up when I restarted the server.
4. I do not have access to some of the computers right now, so I can't log them all out and see whether the new password is effective. This is difficult due to some computers being in different locations. I have not been able to login a computer via the old password, but the ones that WERE ONLINE when I changed the password remain active even though I shutdown and then restarted my server.
5. I guess I could disable the [old] user, but it's sort of convenient that the machines are online at the moment. So, I will change the logins to the new user incrementally and see what happens regarding the old user login when all machines on that username are logged out.
