Vista Business User - I want to change the expiration timeframe for my
password - currently set to 42 days. When I get into local policies under
administrative tools I see that the 42 day setting has "greyed out" and I
can't chnage it. Any ideas on how I can make this change?

Thanks.

Hello LWH,

Right click the shortcut and use the RUN AS function.

Unfortunately, when I right click on "maximum password age" it doesn't give
me the option to "run as" anything. I have full admin rights, and I have run
the Admin Tools as an Administrator.

Hello LWH,

Sorry, i mean the shortcut for Local security policy. Bad description from
me.

Thanks for the quck response. When I try to "run as" Administrator the value
I need to change - the 42 days default - still appears greyed out. and I
can't change it. Frustrating. I've tried everything.

Thanks,

Larry
 
Hello LWH,

Is this computer member of a domain? Then it must be set on the policy from
your domain admin.
