And I didn't even know it was sick...


I don't want to change my sign on password (pouting!)

Any way to disable this "mandatory" change? XP

You can turn it off by running C:\Windows\system32\lusrmgr.msc, click on
Users and then double-click on the username in the right panel. Check
Password never expires.

As a note, when it asks for you to change your password, it doesn't need to
be changed to something different either. You can just enter the same one.

I didn't try it, but the message said it would not accept any of the
three previous passwords....

This won't work if you're, say, on a corporate LAN and passwords are
enforced by a domain controller. If you're running into this at work,
don't screw with it. Change your password, and consider getting a PalmOS
PDA (new ones are really inexpensive, well under $100 these days on some
current models) so you can install GNU Keyring on it
(http://gnukeyring.sourceforge.net/) to generate (and keep track of in an
encrypted DB, be sure to set a really good password that you can remember
and nobody has any hope of guessing just in case you lose it) secure
passwords.
