Stopping the Windows 11 "Your password has expired and needs to be changed"

[357mag]

I was hit with this message. This is news to me. If I go into Computer Management and Users and select my name, and check the box that says "Password never expires" will that pretty much solve this annoyance?

Or is it better to simply get rid of the password entirely by going into settings and sign-in options and somehow removing the password requirement there. I am alone in my apartment so there is no security risk involved. Or some other way to completely remove the password.

With NTLite, in Post-Setup : Add - Template - Disable user password expiration

Simple to do, try this

No. Windows has already been installed. I am not going to make a brand new NT Lite setup disk and do a reinstall. Windows has already been installed.

And ?
You do it with Windows installed

Yes. That should do it.
