Cannot reset the secure channel password for the computer account in the domain.

I recently joined a computer on my network to a domain and after performing a reboot, I got the following error message:

"The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."


Having encountered this problem before, I decided to try the fix outlined in this article: http://blog.blksthl.com/2013/03/18/fix-the-trust-relationship-between-this-workstation-and-the-primary-domain-failed/

Unfortunately, when I ran the command, I got the following error message:

"Cannot reset the secure channel password for the computer account in the domain."

I tried numerous other articles to resolve the issue, including this Microsoft support article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/175024

Unfortunately, all of these attempts were in vain.

Finally, I was forced to remove the computer from the domain and rejoin the domain.  After re-booting the machine, I was able to log back into the domain!!
