I set up automatic logon. But I know the default password reserved period is
42-day. How to configure that the password will be efficient FOREVER?
 
XP Pro (From Local Users and groups):
.... Click Start > Run
.... Type lusrmgr.msc
.... Double click Users (Right side)
.... Double click your account name
.... Tick "Password never expires"

XP Pro (From Group Policy Editor):
.... Click Start > RUn
.... Type gpedit.msc
.... Navigate to "Windows Settings\Security settings\Account policies\Password policies" under Computer configuration
.... Right side, set the value of "Maximum password age" to 0

Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative tools, Computer Management, Local
Users and Groups,
Expand the Local Users and Group option and select the Users Folder.
On the right you will see a list of User Account, select the account you
want to change by double clicking on the Account Name.
Now in the Properties window, select the General tab and check the box
named: Password Never Expires.
Click the Apply button and then the OK button.

Well there you have it, three different ways to do the job.
There is always more than one way to skin the cat in Windows;-)
