Open up Control Panel, Adminstrative Tools, Computer
Management, When you open that, go to Local Users and
Groups, and click on Users, and to the right hand side
you'll see your user name, right click it click
properties, and then check the box password never expires.

And that's it.

Think you might have to do this logged-in as a user with Administrator
