This works for me:

            DirectoryEntry usr = new DirectoryEntry();
            usr.Path = path; // PAth of the account to update the Path
            usr.Username=UID; // This account needs to have update rights
            usr.Password=PWD; // Password of the above account
            usr.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure;
            object[] password = new object[] {p};
            object ret = usr.Invoke("SetPassword", password );
            usr.CommitChanges();
            usr.Close();

I am facing an error while changing/Setting the password.

I am getting the below error

Unknown name. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020006 (DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME))” .

DirectoryEntry usr = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://server.domain.com");

usr.Invoke("ChangePassword", new object[] { "oldpwd", "new" });

Its throwing error while calling the invoke method.

Thanks and Regards,
