Password expires in 14 days message w/ 2k

I have entered no password running 2k as a user with administartor privileges, but I get a password expires in 14 days message every so often. What can I do to get rid of the message since I have never entered a password in the first place?.

Right-click "My Computer" and go to "Manage"... Go to "System Tools"->"Local Users and Groups"->"Users"... Right-click your user name and go to "Properties"... Check the box that says "Password never expires"...

OP
Would that give me any more security after the system was on since I am on a DSL connection? It is only myself and my wife that us it.

Well, considering you have an admin account with no password, it doesn't sound like you are all that concerned about security...
 
The point of expiring passwords is to lessen the chance of someone finding out your account login information and therefore having access to your stuff and acting like they were you. This is more of an issue in large networks with many users, like a campus or a corporate environment.
