Password keeps expiring administration. Can I stop it?
I use Windows 7 (Home Premium) on a desktop HP 'Pavilion' at home: I'm the regular user only.
I've set up a user account for myself as well as the default Administration account: both are protected by Word and I have the password to reset the files on disk for both. On the user account that I use every day, the password is fine, but on the Admin account keeps expiring, it seems that every time I need to use it to enable a download or installation, etc.
I can always reset it, but it's a huge faff and I can't find anything to activate the automatic expiry or, at least, re - define the validity period: research on phrases like "password expiration" in the help Windows is not aid at all.
Can someone help me please?

My password has expired on Windows 7 and I can't access the machine
I have a Samsung Windows 7 Home Edition laptop. Last night, the password has expired (apparently without warning) and now I can't access the machine. I tried Safe Mode, but it returns the sign on screen. Tried to fix and had the same end result - a return to the login screen. There is only one account on the machine.
When your password has expired then, you will be immediately prompted to enter a new password. Unless you enter a new password, Windows won't let you continue.
No, I had not given the possibility to enter a new password. It's a stupid system to have passwords expire on home computers.
What you say does not correspond with my own observations.
Restart in Mode safe mode, and then log in as administrator. The password is usually empty. Now, you can reset the password for your existing account.
When you're done, plan in advance and create, test and document a second admin account.
To avoid that your passwords expiring, follow these steps:
1 log in under an administrator account.
2. click on start.
3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
5. click on "run as Administrator".

My iphone 5 iOs 9.2 my photos off wifi have tend to be blurry how can I stop this to keep download when I reconnect to wifi?
Hello Mikecici,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
I understand that your photos will look blurry, whenever your iPhone is not connected to the Wi - Fi. This indicates that you probably iCloud library enabled with the option of storage optimize. If you have cellular data disabled for Photos, which would prevent photos life-size uploaded without a Wi - Fi. To learn more about iCloud photo library, please take a look at the information in the link below.
Can I use iCloud photo library to save space on my device?
iCloud photo library automatically keeps all of your photos and videos in the original version, in high resolution. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
- On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > pictures or settings > Photos & camera, then select a storage parameter.
- On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud, and select a storage parameter.
If you turn on [device] Optimize storage, iCloud photo library manages automatically the size of your library on your device, you can make the most of your device storage and access photos more than ever. All of your original photos, full resolution and the videos are stored in iCloud while unit size versions are stored on your device. You can download original photos and videos over Wi - Fi or cell phone when you need it.
If you turn on download original, iCloud photo library will keep your original, full resolution photos and videos on iCloud and on your device. Download the originals is the default setting for iOS devices with 5 GB free storage plan and all Mac devices.
You need an Internet connection to access a photo original or video that is stored only in iCloud.
