Help with Ubuntu Linux Server Password Problem...

Hi all,

I have no root access enabled on our linux server due to safety issues. We use sudo. When I change my password using passwd command, I sometimes get issues where I can't log back in.
Pam_Tally disables due to trying my password too many times. So someone in my group has to reset that.

Is there a way that we can do this individually without someone else doing it?

Any info would help.
