By default Windows passwords will never expire unless set by an Admin on a corporate network or set by yourself. Is it the Windows account password you are talking about?

If so the only help that we can provide for resetting the password is by using this tutorial - http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/102005-reset-user-account-password.html

My apologies for the limited help but I cannot provide any other methods as this would violate certain legislation

Hope This Helps,
