What screen are you talking about? Are you talking about the log on screen? Not sure where you are?

If you are refering to the login screen for XP and you login with a password, you probably have that account set to expire passwords and force the user to change it after a certain amount of days. Check in the user profiles.

start/run
type in 'gpedit.msc' without the quotes.

In left hand windows negotiate down the following tree

windows settings/securit settings/account policies/password policy

Click on password policy

In right hand screen you now have a list of settings

Maximum password age
is probably set to 45 days
If you dont want it to expire, set it to 0 (double click it)
