Password expired - change pw - Access is denied
I booted up my Vista Ultimate this AM to a "Your password has expired and
must be changed message." It offers me 3 fields, 1st one is filled in (my old pw presumably), 2nd says "new pw", 3rd says "confirm pw". I fill in 2, and 3, and click - which results in a brief flash of "Changing password..." then "Access is denied." I've tried clearing 1 and putting in my pw instead of letting it get filled in, the result is the same. How do i fix this? Thanks. |

It sounds like your user account is set such that it is not allowed to change its password. - Is your account an administrator account? - Can you still log in? - Do you have any other administrator accounts available to log in with? -- -JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support FAQ - http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
