Reserved Administrator Account Password Problem

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)

This is useless to me, as I have already explained: I do not have the operating system that supports this functionality. Your advice is completely inapplicable per the information that I had already provided (Did you not read what I had submitted to safeguard against this precisely-anticipated eventuality?). I have Windows 11 Home, not Professional or Enterprise. Nothing that you offered as a remedy works on the Home edition of Windows 11.

The logical conclusion, then, must be that there isn't any remedy for this issue short of buying a Pro or Enterprise version of Windows. Gahhhhdammit!

Wish there was a registry key that I could edit that would work.
