deleting password expiration date in windows 7 home premium
i wish to delete my password expiration date in windows seven so i don:t have to switch my password every few months?I have been told to use the command
net accounts/maxpwage/unlimited etc. but this does not work on my computer.. other options reinstall windows 7 which would eliminate the programs i have installed and i would have to reinstall them? this would take a long time to do this for a neophyte.. other options is go to the restore pt. at which this was not a problem. i do not know this as i believe it existed from day one on this dell computer? any other suggestions?

I know you have already mentioned trying the command prompt method (ALL versions of Windows 7)
So not sure if it’s typo errors or not, but you said:
Quote “I have been told to use the command net accounts/maxpwage/unlimited”
The correct command is net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited then press the Enter key
And you need to include the spaces between (net & accounts) as well as between (accounts & /)

If not on a domain, then right-click on Computer>Manage. Then go to Users/Groups, right-click on your user, Properties and check Password Never Expires.

I'm registered with Windows 7 forum and get the page, if you are not, that may be the cause, but I found the link doing a google search.
Here is what is on the Windows 7 forum link:
Through Local Security Policy Manager
NOTE: This option is only available for the Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions.
Through Registry Editor
NOTE: This option is available for all Windows 7 editions.

redfordl2010,
My Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium doe NOT have this feature. Are you sure you have Windows Home Premium?
Start, control panel, system
Sounds like you have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. That sounds like some type of feature a company uses.
Is this a company computer?
