    maximum password attempts


    I have a laptop with windows 7 premium 64bit. I was wondering if there was a default maximum logon attempts when installed. I have been trying to enter my password (or so I thought) and I cannot log on. Also is it also possible that this is a virus because I don't remember changing my password.

    Have you tried logging on with just your username (no password)? On machines where the password is expired, this has brought up the reset pw dialog.

Determine Maximum Password age?

Is there a command I can issue which will display the current system Maximum Password Age? I'm trying to write a script to display how long I have before my password expires. I can use nltest.exe to display when my password was last changed, so it's easy to calculate the password age. But...
