Try this code :

    public static bool ValidateCredential(string domain, string userName, string password)
    {
        using (var context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, domain))
        {
            using (var user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, IdentityType.SamAccountName, userName))
            {
                if (user == null) return false;

                using (var group = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, IdentityType.SamAccountName, "Domain Admins"))
                {
                    if (group == null) return false;

                    foreach (var member in group.GetMembers())
                    {
                        if (member.Sid.Equals(user.Sid))
                        {
                            return context.ValidateCredentials(userName, password);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return false;
    }
