    Change Password?


    I have just booted up my computer and it asked me to change the password for this computer and my home server.
    It looks like a genuine screen but i have my doubts that it is genuine.
    Has anyone had the same screen appear?

    I do not think it is legit. What would be the reason? I think that MS, would make a feature like that well know and also give the reason. Why don't you run the scan on your A/V and any other Malware protection that you may have?

    On the server there may be an entry for minimum password age.

    I don't have server, but Go to Start > Local Group Policy editor, expand the windows settings section, expand Security Settings, expand Account policies, then finally Password policy.

    The server settings do not have password age set.
    Can't get a screen shot as i canceled out and it has not come up since then.
    Will run a scan with Avast and another online scanner.
