Open Control Panel go to Administrative Tools, open Local Security Policy
Then go to Account Policies, Password Policy, then go to maximum password
age and change that to zero.
Even though no password was set, sometimes the system sees a blank password
as a password, the above should resolve the issue. If your friend cannot get
to the desktop, it can be done from Safe Mode, boot the system, start
tapping F8, select Safe Mode, press enter and at Safe Mode, choose the
account named "Administrator," leave the password blank and press enter,
then perform the above steps.
