Changing a password before expiration

By default, users are prompted to change their passwords whenever they log on within 14 days of their password's scheduled date of expiration. Administrators can modify the change password prompt period by editing the prompt user to change password security setting.

Example: The local security setting can be viewed and changed by clicking Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Local Security Policy → Local Policies → Security Option.
