my password

[Guest]

Hi
I'm currently running Windows XP Professional on my computer and I have a password on it that you need to type in to get the computer started up. Unfortunately, every month or so, a reminder will come up right before I sign on saying that I need to change my password. This is quite annoying and I'm afraid someone might change my password without me knowing. So, is there any way to take this reminder off? Thanks a ton

Hi,

Start/run "control userpasswords2"

Go to the advanced tab, click on advanced. Click the users tab, right-click
your user account and select properties. There is an option "password never
expires" here to select.
