You can remove the password entirely, by Start-Settings-Control Panel- Users and Passwords. Either uncheck 'Users must enter a name and password', or select account name and click 'Set Password': enter old password and then leave new one blank. Don't know of an option to change default timing.

In Win2k you need to change the policy. Go to Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Security Policy. You will find an option "Password Policy" under Account Policies, and associated password settings should be there.
