Not many know this, but Windows 10 has a Password Expiry feature that discontinues your password after a certain number of days. Microsoft believes that periodic password expiration protects the user from unauthorized access. While the feature surely sounds good, but most of the time, it ends up being a hassle to many users. So in this article, we bring you a one-stop guide to fix the “Windows 10 password expired” error once and for all. And in case, you want to customize the number of days for password expiry then you can do that as well. With all that said, let’s now go ahead and learn about the steps.
First of all, if you are getting “Your password has expired and must be changed” error then there is nothing to worry. Just click on the “OK” button and Windows will allow you to change the password then and there. Keep in mind, you will have to enter the old password.
It will open the Computer Management window. Here, expand the “Local Users and Groups” menu and open “Users”. Now, right-click on your username and open “Properties”.
Note: This option is only available to Windows 10 Pro users.
