I am running XP Pro (SP2) on a P4 Notebook (2003 model). I've suddenly
encountered a problem with my password. It is insisting on a password change
every two days. When I change it, it immediately shoots back with a message
that my pw will expire in 2 days. In the intervening period, it keeps
nagging to change my pw everytime I logon.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks in advance
