I was able to just RDP into it:

xfreerdp /v:10.102.191.140 /u:'OffensiveAdmin'  /dynamic-resolution /cert-ignore +clipboard +drives /drive:root,/home/kali

(and then filling in the pwd)

    The easiest is to restart the lab. The password will not be expired at the beginning.

    If you want the hard way (which I stupidly did) you can run something like the below as jack.s to force a reset.

    `[Netapi32.NetApi32]::NetUserChangePassword("offensive.local", "OffensiveAdmin", "It'sBlankAnyway", "NewPassword123!")`
