I am using XP Pro and my password for my admin account keeps expiring about
every month. This is a home computer and I do not want to come up with a new
password every month but do want to continue using a password to log into the
admin account. Does anybody know how to lengthen this or get rid of the
expiration time?

Start > Run > type control userpasswords2 > ok
Select the Advanced tab
Press the Advanced button under the Advanced user managemen.
Select Users in the Local Users and Groups.
In the right pane, right-click the user name for which you want to
change the setting, and select Properties.

On the General tab, check Password never expires.
Click Apply and OK (all the way out).

regards,
