Turn off Windows 7 Home Premium Password Expiration

[Burdney]

I have new computers (only one month old) at home, all with Windows 7 Home Premium. There are 2 adminstrative users (mom and dad) and 3 standard users(our children), all with their own passwords. The operating system is asking the standard users to change their passwords after only one month! Is there any way to disable windows 7 password expiration notification? I have not been able to locate any options for passwords. While I would like my children to have their privacy, I don't want to require them to change their passwords every month. I can understand in a business environment the need to require users to change their passwords on a regular basis. But this should not be necessary for home use (this is Windows 7 Home (not business) Premium) and certainly not every 30 days. So i turned to somebody for help, how can i turn off windows 7 password expiration. Some people gave me the following advice to turn off password in windows 7 i will share with you.

1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator (Rt-click cmd program to Run as Administrator)

2. Type the following, then press enter net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

3. Log off and restart the PC, Your would finish windows 7 turn off password.

I adopt their advice, as the above steps to set up, while the windows 7 password expired notification didn't appear.

11-year-old Indian-origin girl in US sells secure passwords
Nov 1, 2015: An enterprising 11-year-old Indian-origin girl in the US has started her own business selling cryptographically secure passwords generated by dice rolls.

Mira Modi, a sixth grader in New York City, has her own website and generates six-word Diceware passphrases for her customers at $2 each. Diceware is a well-known decades-old system for coming up with passwords. It involves rolling a dice as a way to generate random numbers that are matched to a long list of English words. Those words are then combined into a non-sensical string that exhibits true randomness and is therefore difficult to crack.

These passphrases have proven relatively easy for humans to memorize. "This whole concept of making your own passwords and being super secure and stuff, I don't think my friends understand that, but I think it's cool," Modi told 'Ars Technica'. Modi's mother, Julia Angwin, a veteran journalist and author of Dragnet Nation, employed her daughter to generate Diceware passphrases as a part of research for her book.

That is when Modi had the idea to turn it into a small business. For every order, Modi rolls a physical dice and looks up the words in a printed copy of the Diceware word list. She writes down the corresponding password string onto a piece of paper and sends it by postal mail to the customer. "I think (good passwords are) important. Now we have such good computers, people can hack into anything so much more quickly," Modi said.
