Microsoft Account Forcing You to Change Password? Here's a Solution

Are you tired of being forced by Microsoft to change your password every so often, only to have it prompt another reset soon after? This can be frustrating and time-consuming. However, there is a way to disable this feature if you're not satisfied with the frequent changes.

To begin, open Windows Terminal (Admin) on your device. From here, select Command Prompt from the dropdown menu.

Once in Command Prompt, follow one of two steps depending on what you want:

Disable Password Reset

If you'd rather avoid being prompted to change your password as frequently, simply type `net user /passwordchg:NO` and press Enter. Replace `` with your actual username.

This command will disable the automatic password reset feature for your account.

Enable Password Reset

On the other hand, if you want Microsoft's recommended security measure of periodically changing passwords to stay enabled, simply type `net user /passwordchg:YES` and press Enter. Again, replace `` with your actual username.

This command will re-enable the automatic password reset feature for your account.

Remember that disabling this feature may compromise some level of security, so be cautious when making a decision. It's essential to weigh the benefits against any potential risks before proceeding.

By following these simple steps, you can take control over Microsoft Account password changes and avoid being forced into frequent resets.
