change local administrator password remotely from domain PC to a non-domain PC

Tags: change, password, local, administrator, domain
So ran into an issue where I had a laptop that was having domin authentication issues. I decided to drop and re-add it to the domain. I then ran into some errors.  I failed to double check the administrators password to what our default standard is and low and behold I'm sitting here trying to log into this laptop and the local administrators account is wrong. The laptop is no longer on the domain and I can't use my credentials to change it though some of my tools that I've used in the past like pspasswd.exe.

Am I hosed? Is there anyway I can remotly change the local administrators password of this laptop that is not on my domian, but plugged into my network. This isn't an over the internet thing and re-reading this post I know it sound sour, but this is legit and I'm in deep *&$% if I can't get logged back into this laptop.
