You have to boot the DC in AD Restore Mode. When your in AD restore mode (AD shut Down), you will have access to this user account. Right click My Computer and select MANAGE. You can reset the password here.

-hope this helps...

The user should've been moved into AD when you ran dcpromo. Did you look in the users container in AD users and computers?
