Lol, for starters, they're all going to get angry :D
Check all the servers and make sure under services.msc that none are running as a service with the specified user. If you know the password now, just change it, wait 20 mins and if anything breaks or stops working, change it right back. (you may need to unlock the account if it get's locked)
Also, make sure you don't have any mapped drives with that user as the credentials or scheduled tasks.

Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
