Account Password management

[Guest]

Hi all,
I have a Windows XP Home sp2 workstation in which I'd like to set up some
password rule: with the command net accounts I set the min. password lenght,
max & min. duration. Then I verified these setting if they are working and I
found that: password expiration is not advertized, and password are not
expiring. I took a look at related registry keys and everything seems all
right but nothing is working. Do anyone knows if these settings are working
only in Windows XP Pro ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Go to computer manager by doing click on Control Panel--administrative
tools--local users and groups--users and untick "password never expirers"

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately this is windows HP Home ed. and there's no such administation
snap-in because the user management is limited against Pro version.
