Network Password
Hey people,
At my place of work, there are of course user names and passwords, so I set an initial password, now after 30 days it asks for a new password. So i found that quite interesting, I've had to change my 26 character pass to 29 characters, sigh, anyway, so I consulted the Net first and the Windows Help
How to disable automatic machine account password changes
and they said that,
- Start Registry Editor. To do so, click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
- In the right pane, click the DisablePasswordChange entry.
- On the Edit menu, click Modify.
- In the Value data box, type a value of 1, and then click OK.
- Quit Registry Editor.
That seemed to work when I booted up my Laptop at HOME, but when I booted up the Laptop WHEN connected to the OFFICE NETWORK, it demanded me to change my password....
Is there a way out of this, as well as delete the history of passwords thats stored on the machine???
