Expired password

[Anita]

I have 2 computers both running win 2000 networked through
a router. They were working fine until I started getting
the message that the password was expired on the other
machine. I have the passwords set to never expire and so I
have no idea how to fix this. I tried changing the
password and it didn't help a bit. I tried on both
machines...they both have that username on them as one of
the users. Appreiate any advice!

Did it say that the password had expired or that the "account" had expired. Accounts
can expire also. You can use [ net user username ] to view info about each and any
account to see what it reports. If the passwords have been reset and the account is
checked to not expire, that should fix the expired password problem if that is the
actual account used. You can also configure minimum password age to be infinite if
that suits your needs in Local Security Policy available via secpol.msc and then go
to security settings/account policies/password policy and set maximum password age to
be zero. If for some reason the account shows as expired you can use [ net user
username /expires:never ] to fix that. --- Steve
