How do I press ctrl+alt+delete within a remote desktop that is within ANOTHER remote desktop

2

Using Windows Remote Desktop (that comes with Windows 8):

ctrl+alt+end is bringing up the dialog for the first computer I remote into, but I need to bring it up for the 2nd computer

my computer > computerA > computerB

so that I can change computerB's password.

I cannot RDP into computerB directly, as it is heavily firewalled.

Thiese Remote Desktops usually have functions like send ctrl-alt-del and other. – ott-- – 2015-02-26T16:29:35.450

What RDC client are you using? – Ramhound – 2015-02-26T16:30:41.910

You can also do this. Feel free to update your question to reflect which client your using.

Ta, have updated it. Hopefully has a better title than the other one, and the solution doesn't require any extra software – NibblyPig – 2015-02-26T16:39:47.137

Have found a workaround:

Press ctrl+alt on the physical keyboard, and using the onscreen keyboard on the computer you wish to bring the dialog up for, press the Delete key using the mouse.

Any other combination doesn't seem to work.
