Guest jbclem Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 When I started up Win2000 sp4 today I got a message saying my password was going to expire in 14 days, and did I want to change it? I changed it to the same password and went on. But I'd like to know who has set this time limit on my Win2000 password, and how I can get rid of the time limit (or the need for a password for that matter). Can someone help with this? jc
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Re: password expiring in 14 days? Hello jbclem, 14 days is the default setting in a domain if you not configure your own specific setting in the default domain policy or a policy at domain level.

Guest Roger Fink Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: password expiring in 14 days? Control Panel/Users and Passwords/Advanced (tab)/Advanced (button). Select Users on the left and double-click yourself from the choices on the right. Check "Password never expires". You need Administrator access for this. jbclem wrote: > When I started up Win2000 sp4 today I got a message saying my > password was going to expire in 14 days, and did I want to change it? > I changed it to the same password and went on.
