Locked out of Windows and cannot login in because of password expiration? This occasion usually happens when you haven’t used a computer for a long time or that you didn’t change the password according to the prompt timely. Generally, the default time limit that allows users to change their password before expiration is 14 days. While in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the default time limit is 5 days only. If you neglected it and left it alone, then you will be locked out of the Windows days later.
In this tutorial, we’ll explain how to fix this issue in two cases to help you log back into your Windows without reinstalling the system.
