Hi every time I boot up, I have started to get a Message, When I click on my Name to start windows, LOGON Message, Your password will expire in 14 days, do you want to change it now, have not set password up, if i click yes change it, it asks for old password,and change to new one, and comfirm, it is now down to 8 days, any ideas
to disable?

XP puts a time limit on using passwords.
In Windows HELP, click Index then type:
recovering passwordsMake the special floppy NOW.
If you do not do what message says, you will not
get into XP without the floppy. Then you will have to reinstall XP.
