Hey there, just today I logged on to my computer and it
told me that I had 11 days to change my password. I want
to disable this limit on the length of time I can have a
certain password, as I only have the password to use
Remote Desktop and I'm really not worried about people
figuring out my password and logging in. I'm running
Windows XP Professional, version 2002, service pack 1. If
anyone knows how to disable it please email me at
d_westrom@hotmail.com, and thanks for any help you can
offer!

- Dave

Disabling Password Expiry

if your computer is a memeber of a domain then the only
person who can do that is your domain administrator,
but if not here is how,

Start-->Run--> then type "secpol.msc " without the quote,
and expand account policies click password policy change
minimun password age & maximum password age to 0 , and by
that your password will not expire anymore..
