How to change Windows domain password from Fedora

At work, I have an Internet account on a window proxy server, but I am using Fedora 15 as my desktop and I can use the internet through the window proxy server without any problem , the windows proxy is configured to request the account holder to renew the password every 4 weeks.

My question is, how can I can renew my password from my Fedora 15 desktop ? I usually, go to a window desktop ,press Alt+Cntrl+Del and select from dialogue menu to renew the password, but i wonder if I can do it from Fedora 15 desktop? Thank you all.

Once on the network, changing your password as routine with "passwd" will change your password for the Windows domain as well.
