You need to activate Windows XP:

I may be off base here, but..... Our computers at work are running XP and it
requires the log in passwords to be changed every 2 weeks for security
reasons. (Why I have absolutley no clue because they sticky note the
password to the monitor anyways, duh) You may have a setting somewhere set
to change the passwords every 2 weeks like our work. How you fix it, I
don't have a clue, but maybe someone here can help.

While logged in as an administrator click Start> Run and enter "control
userpasswords2" (no quotes) and click OK.

In the resulting "Local Users and Groups" window click once on Users under
Local Users and Groups. In the right hand pane right click your User name
and choose properties. Place a check mark in the "Password never expires"
box. Click OK on all boxes to get back to your desktop.
