Hi Kelly,
This command appears to have worked! I've rebooted 3 times and the 'reset password' message no longer appears.
THANK YOU so much for taking the time to suggest this.
And my thanks to everyone for taking the time to suggest different things to consider and try.
This MS forum and those who read and reply regularly are deeply appreciated. I realize how difficult it must be to try and help when there are so many different hardware & software combinations, yet you always come through for me.
with kindest regards,
Mary

"MEL" <mleek@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:uajC$EMgJHA.5956@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWe own an IBM T40 ThinkPad Laptop we purchased as a corporate off lease return. The seller provided a password that he said was applied to all areas where a password would be set.
We are now receiving a message that the password will expire in 2 days and do we wish to reset the password. Will this deem the laptop unusable once this happens?
I have tried to reset the password by using the password sent to us with the purchase papers and then entering a new one but a message says the user or password isn't correct. I've tried using uppercase, etc., but nothing works.
I realize no one would want to say how to get around this if you knew and this is understandable. I just need to know if the laptop will stop booting up when this password expires? Even though we've owned pc's since 1990, I've never used a password. I'm at a loss as to what this expiration of a password means, what the results will be when it expires.
Any advice as to what to expect will be most appreciated.
Mary
