Changing Windows Password in RDP

I recently needed to change my windows password within a RDP session. The problem is when I attempted to Ctrl-Alt-Del it would run on my main machine and not the RDP. How did I change my windows password while in a remote desktop connection? I found a few answers to my question.
You can actually use Ctrl+Alt+End as it will simulate a Ctrl+Alt+Del on the RDP session. I found this out when I was trying to change my password on a server that I was RDPing into.
