Win2k prompts you to change your password every 2 weeks or so. How can I disable the feature so that I can use the same password all the time? Please email me at dlsmith1949@hotmail.com with your answer, thanks.

Click Start, point to Programs, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.

Expand the Local Users And Groups object underSystem Tools, and then click the Users folder.
In the right pane, right-click the appropriate user object.

This is either a local policy or a domian wide policy. If your conputer is connected to a domain. You will have to configure your domain wide Group Policy not to expire passwords. If this is a stand alone computer you will have to do in local security pocliy which you can access from the control panel administrative tools. If you want to do this just for one user than in AD (if you use a domain) or Local Users and groups, highlight the user and check the box Password never Expires.

You might not have the rights to do this...if you have no admin rights..then maybe this is the password policy your company wants....you will have to talk to your admin to change this if they will...most of the time they won't...security being the issue!!
