    Hi Lisa

    Suggest you try this :

    Go to Start > Run and type in 'secpol.msc' - without the quotes

    Navigate to Account Policies > Password Policy

    Right click on Maximum Password Age > Properties and in the dialogue box which pops up set value to 0 (zero) - this means it never expires.

    OK and exit Local Security Settings - this worked for me on a pal's machine with the same problem.
