That's normal Windows XP behavior if a password is set.

By default, Windows XP is set up with passwords which will expire after 42
days. 14 days in advance, Windows will start warning you of this fact. If
you do not want your passwords to expire: 

Go to "Start" > "Run" and in the "Open" box type "control userpasswords2"
(without " ")

Select the "Advanced" tab in the User Accounts window 

Press the "Advanced" button below the "Advanced user management" header 

Select "Users" in the "Local Users and Groups" 

In the right pane, right-click the user name for which you want to change
the setting, and select "Properties" 

On the "General" tab, check "Password never expires" 

Click "Apply" and OK (all the way out)
