Password has expired on win 2k pro workgroup network

**Anilrgowda** · 10-Jul-2007, 05:00 PM

I have 3 PC's connected to a 5 port switch / hub so that they can all share documents and printers and internet.

I have set all pc's up with user accounts - user 1, user 2, user 3 and all with passwords.

They all run on windows 2000 professional so to get them all sharing and working initially I put each of the three computers user accounts on all of the pc's and this worked!.

All has worked fine except on PC 3 it has come up with the message "the password has expired"

So, how do I go from this to keeping the same password as before and then preventing it from expiring?

"Win 2000 may have a little difference."

It's the same for Win/2000.

An alternate way to reach the same place:

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users -> Users.
