Disable Password Expiration

If you using Windows, you must have faced the issue of password expiration. Specially in Xp where it says “Your Password Will Expire In 14 Days”. There is a simple way through you can disable the password expiration feature, and the password for the user never expires. There are simple changes to be made in the user properties to do so. Apart from that, make sure that if you are in a network, you must have the proper permissions to do so. Follow the steps below

  1. Right Click on My Computer and click Manage.
  2. Select Local users and groups and further select Users.
  3. Select the user you want and open its Properties.
  4. Tick Password Never Expires, and you are done with it.
If you are using Windows 2003, then for doing the same for multiple users, you can select multiple users, but in case of XP, multiple users Properties cannot be edited.
If yuo want to apply for all the users then simple type net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited on Run and all the users will now be set to Password Never Expires.
