Recently I have found out, that many administrators are not aware of this trick to change your password in RDP while working inside a VM. So I thought it might be worth sharing with you guys !

It is very simple, in RDP where you want to change the password, run osk.exe. Then press CTRL + ALT on your keyboard and finish it with the mouse click on DEL. This opens the dialog for password change on the correct machine.

You can also just run (from CMD, RUN, PS, …,):
C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
