It may be coming from your box, or the NT server. If the case is that it is
coming form your box, you can change it.
First go to
Start-->Programs-->Administrative Tools (Common) --> User Manager.
This will open user manager.
the click on Policies on the Menu bar, then click on Account Policy.This
will allow you to set the options for the passwords .

If it's not in there, it will probably be a domain thing, in which case you
will have to have a domain administrator do. They probably won't do it for
you though. It's bad security practice.
