August 2, 201511 yr I'm not sure whether this even applies to a Microsoft account, but if you're using a local account to run Windows 10, something you may want to consider... Passwords are set to expire by default. If you haven't remembered to do so on your brand new setup, you might want to double check whether your password is set to expire, and whether you want to deconfigure that.Run the Local Security Policy snapin (secpol.msc)Navigate to Security Settings > Account Policies > Password Policy. Change the Maximum password age to 0 to avoid expiry. -Noel
August 2, 201511 yr Author You may be able to do the same thing by doing the following: Start an elevated CMD window. Type the following command to check the current status: NET ACCOUNTS Type the following command to avert password expiration: NET ACCOUNTS /MAXPWAGE:UNLIMITED -Noel

August 4, 201511 yr Does this Windows 8 command no longer work ("where Name='JOHNDOE' " is your actual Windows user name)? I ask because I use this command on my Windows 8 clean install disk and was going to use in on my Windows 10 .iso as well.C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe path Win32_UserAccount where Name='JOHNDOE' set PasswordExpires=false Edited August 4, 201511 yr by lurk&jerk
August 4, 201511 yr @Tripredacus. Sorry. That's what I get for speed reading posts early in the morning. Edited August 4, 201511 yr by lurk&jerk
August 5, 201511 yr Author Now is the time for people to try things and report back. I honestly don't know about the WMIC command. I suspect it will work. -Noel
