How do I stop "Your Password Expires in 14 days..."

I keep getting a message at logon on Windows NT4 Workstations stating
(correctly) that users passwords will expire in 14 (13,12,11etc) days.
Can I change the setting to 5 days or something as it's getting
annoying.

Regards

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.

Thanks, but I didn't describe very well what I was after: It's not
that I don't want my password to expire every 30 days or so, it's just
the warning message that keeps coming up saying 'Your password expires
in 14 days - do you want to change it?' - I only want this to appear
in the last 3-5 days. But i still want my password to expire every 30
days. I have domain admin access so I can look at stuff both on the
server and workstations.

Thanks for your help,

Pete
