Even though this is a Windows Home Edition OS, the reserved Administrator account has been unlocked. Every time I access the account, the Hello screen notifies me that the password for that account has expired. I want to make that damned message go away, so I tried everything I could find to accomplish that. Nothing works. I tried to access Local Users and Groups in the Computer Management console, but that item doesn't exist because this is not a Pro or Enterprise OS. Then I tried running the command prompt as an administrator to enter wmic, I thought, "Okay! Now we're getting somewhere!" But, my elation was short-lived.
wmic, and it wants me to identify client (user account name)
UserAccount (shows all user account names)
Owner (to then enter PasswordExpires=False), one of the identified accounts
...it says, (I paraphrase) "Wutchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis? I don't know that fool!"
I've just about had it up to here (gesturing at my neck) trying to figure out how to turn off that rat-bastid message. Anyone know anything that actually works? All the guys on the 'net I've consulted knew a lot less than they'd advertised. (insert animated Yosemite Sam Cursing emoji)
