Launch Active Directory Sites and Services --> Expand First Site Name --> Expand the server all the way until you see NTDS settings. Highlight NTDS settings and highlight server you want to force replication to/from on right pane. Right-click server and select "Synchronize Now".
The best way to reset a password is to connect to the closest domain controller to the user in AD Users and Computers and then reset the password. Then you won't have to wait.
Technically, password changes are instantaneous but it doesn't seem to be so.
