Password Expired with Automatic Logon

Greetings,
I have a XPE system with SP2 and the automatic logon, user account, and
administrator account components. The system was working fine, it would
automatically log me in as a user or let me logoff and then back on as an
Administrator. Then a couple of days later, the startup screen showed a
message box that my password had expired and that I needed to enter a new
one.

Is there a way to set it up so the password never expires? I can see in the
registry where the default username and password are stored, but when the
user is prompted for a new password, where is this new password stored, and
can I overwrite (fix) the user entered password? I would like to be able to
fix a few systems that made it out into the field. Thanks for all your help!

Joe,

This question has been asked and answered in the NG many times. You may want to search Google archive first.

Just mentioned a few solutions:
- Use GUI User Manager at run time to change that flag.
- Run this command at run time: "net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited" (You can launch it during FBA)
- Use command line version of User Manager (usrmgr.exe tool from Resource Kit). It has a command to change the password
expiration on selected accounts. E.g., "cusrmgr.exe -u UserName +s PasswordNeverExpires".
 
Thanks, that fixed it. I must not have been searching for the right phrase on
this news group. Anyway thanks again.

Hi,
I'm trying to automate the insertion of a specific user account using a
macro component.
All works fine, but the password expire by default after some time.
I follow instructions from doc in 'Removing Password Expiration from User
Accounts' and 'Creating a Component for the Custom Security Template' but it
doesn't work. FBA executes the command with exit code 1, but the password
still expires. If I redo the command manually after the first boot the
expiration will be removed. Why?
