please see the following information provided by Microsoft's RDS Team Blog
Enabling Password reset for RDWeb

You will need to modify the login.aspx file to enable this feature .
I recommend using Notepad++ for modifying this file as it shows the lines on the left hand side.
Ensure that a backup of all the files is completed before continuing any further with this.
Modifying the Login.aspx File
The following Path shows the location of the file login.aspx.

IISReset
Enable Password Change:
open the IIS manager on the server(s) running your RD WebAccess. And browse to Sites;Default Web Site;RDWeb;Pages and then select Application Settings.
You then need to change the property PasswordChangeEnabled available to true.
