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 Peter Reeves mbbu95@dial.pipex.com

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. mbbu95@dial.pipex.com wrote in message <35581151.5137387@news.dial.pipex.com>... >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 > >Peter Reeves >mbbu95@dial.pipex.com

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 mbbu95@dial.pipex.com
