im not sure what you mean under domain password. theres some tool that allows you to reset passwords for windows. its a small image, which you can put on USB or any media and you boot from it, then you can reset all the passwords in xp (and some other windows too).
im not sure if it can reset "domain" password, but you can give it a try.http://sethioz.co.uk/stuff/xp%20passwor ... 0reset.rar

You need access to the domain controller if it's a domain account and not a local account. Where exactly the passwords are stored on a domain / active directory... I haven't a clue. But by default, passwords are not stored with reversible encryption in a Windows server environment, so you would have to do a hard reset (some how).
