I've been doing some searching and think I know how to fix it the next time
I have access to that machine. It sort of goes like
Start/Settings/Control_Panel/User&Password click on properties and check
password never expires... or if that does not work click Start/Help as
suggested by some MVP type.

I find it strange that an "Admin" password can be set to expire in XX days
and even if you change it, it will just reset the number of days.
