| 275541 | 2004-09-25 08:39:00 | My toshiba laptop running Win2000 Pro has started showing a popup box headed "Logon message", and the text of "Your password will expire in 13 days. Do you want to change it now? Yes/ No" I have not heard of a time expiring password, so want to check it out here before saying "Yes". I have Agnitum Pro firewall, ad-aware, AVG and Spybot, all very much up to date, but they report nothing at all. I also have a desktop machine, which is running Win 2000 too, but it does not display the message. Anyone else had this message? Oh yeah, there is no network between the computers, except for a casual infrared link, but that is not used frequently and no passwords are involved anyway. |

| 275544 | 2004-09-26 08:54:00 | Thanks for the replies guys. It is obviously just Windows doing it's thing. Strange that the desktop computer does not tell me to renew my password. Well, no matter, now that I know what it is all about. |

| 275545 | 2004-09-27 02:38:00 | you can choose whether to turn it on or off so thats why the desktop won't ask for you to change your password. To change it right click on my computer , click manage , local users and groups , and then click users, Right click on the user and there should be a option | ApeNz (4220) | ||
