How to Disable Password Expiration on Windows Server 2008
If you’re not using Active Directory, your “Local Security Policy” dictates things like password complexity rules, account lockouts, and password expiration. To turn off password expiration:
1) Login as Administrator or a user with Administrator rights
2) Launch “Local Security Policy”: Start > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
3) Expand “Account Policies”
4) Select Password Policy
5) Set Maximum Password age to “0”
