In Win 98, i boot up, the password screen comes up, and i put it in then a message comes up "your password will expire in x days do you want to change it now" what i want to do is keep my existing password and not change it.

This sounds like a policy that has been set by your IT Administrator/your organization for security purposes. Therefore you won't have direct control of this.

Hope this helps

Try re-entering your existing password as the changed password. If it will not allow you to do this, then security settings are forcing a change of password.

Well, you could just change your password and then change it back to the old one, unless you're not allowed to change your password except when it's going to expire.

BTW, this is a very good policy, I would recommend changing your passwords frequently.
