Default Password expire

Lately, whenever I boot up my computer, I get a message
that my old password expired, and that I need to make a
new one. The problem with this is, I am the only one who
uses this computer, so I never have to logon. I don't
even think I ever gave the computer a password. It won't
let me change the password, is there anyway around this
or to at least let me find out my old password? any help
would be appreciated.

Default Re: Password expire

Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy
Then goto Account Policies, Password Policy, then goto maximum password age
and
change that to zero.
