Password problem

[Waqar Aziz]

An old pc at work runs Windows ME and successfully logs on to a Win 2000
server. Only problem is the password expires every 30 (?) days, can this
be disabled so it never expires. Not a problem with Win 98 or Win XP Pro
pcs that keep going without passwords expiring.

Password expiry dates are set by the server on a per user basis.

Checked the server, all accounts say password never expire so the problem seems
to be on the Win ME machine.

Any other thoughts

Check the User settings in the Control Panel of the ME machine and check the
PASSWORD settings in the Control Panel of ME as well.

The password will keep expiring untill you first logged in with that
account LOCALLY on the windows 2000 computer,
Try it and inform me about the results the next period... if there will
be one.
