Re: Password Expired with Automatic Logon

Joe,

This question has been asked and answered in the NG many times. You may want to search Google archive first.

Just mentioned a few solutions:
- Use GUI User Manager at run time to change that flag.
- Run this command at run time: "net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited" (You can launch it during FBA)
- Use command line version of User Manager (usrmgr.exe tool from Resource Kit). It has a command to change the password
expiration on selected accounts. E.g., "cusrmgr.exe -u UserName +s PasswordNeverExpires".

Greetings,
I have a XPE system with SP2 and the automatic logon, user account, and
administrator account components. The system was working fine, it would
automatically log me in as a user or let me logoff and then back on as an
Administrator. Then a couple of days later, the startup screen showed a
message box that my password had expired and that I needed to enter a new
one.

Is there a way to set it up so the password never expires? I can see in the
registry where the default username and password are stored, but when the
user is prompted for a new password, where is this new password stored, and
can I overwrite (fix) the user entered password? I would like to be able to
fix a few systems that made it out into the field. Thanks for all your help!

Joe B.
