Much helpful.<br /> Why I would need this? For kids in the house who have their own user accounts - they only have that one password to contend with instead of playing around with different passwords and then forgetting which one they have set up. Trying to keep it simple.</p> <p>Thanks again. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xp-pro-how-to-disable-password-change-option-in-limited-user-accounts#post-4426 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 13:43:14 +0000 DLZ 4426@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i just checkecd it and it does work </p> <p>May be for kids not to have password . </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xp-pro-how-to-disable-password-change-option-in-limited-user-accounts#post-4420 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 04:37:45 +0000 Justin 4420@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yes. To do so:<br /> 1. Right click on "My Computer" and select Manage.<br /> 2. In the left pane double click "Local Users and Groups".<br /> 3. Click "Users".<br /> 4. Double Click a user account.<br /> 5. Check "User cannot change password".<br /> 6. Click OK and close the "Computer Management" window.</p> <p>Also, I'm wondering why do you want to disable the ability to change passwords for that user? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xp-pro-how-to-disable-password-change-option-in-limited-user-accounts#post-4417 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 01:32:45 +0000 DLZ 4417@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>no there isn't ...... not that i know of at least . you could try useing Help seach might find an awnser to your Problem . </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xp-pro-how-to-disable-password-change-option-in-limited-user-accounts#post-4414 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 20:10:42 +0000 RJNJC 4414@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have admin account.<br /> I have set up a limited user account with a password.<br /> Now, the limited user is able to go Control Panel &gt; User account &gt; change password and change the password.<br /> Is there a way to 'disable' this changing of password by the user? </p>
