Can any one tell me how to disable password expire feature in 90 days? I know its a security flaw or PCI non-compliant but I do really wanna do this. Any help please?

BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST!!!

If you need to be PCI compliant, they you probably don't want to do this. But if you're useing ZC in a testing environment, then there's no reason that you can't use the same password over and over again.

I haven't found the trick to disabling the forced password reset alltoghther, but there is a work around using phpmyadmin to change the password back to what it was. Change your password when it asks you to, then In phpmyadmin, under the admin table, edit your user name, and blank out the prev_pass1, prev_pass2 and prev_pass3.

Then change your password back to what it was.

Kind of a pain, but at least it works.

I was snooping around and stumbled across admin_access.php in /public_html/admin/includes/functions .
Look at line 433. Then look at the end of line 442. There's the 90 day setting. I'm going to set this to... 200000. That's 500+ years.

Keep in mind, if this does fix the password expiration after 90 days, and you need to be PCI compliant, DON'T CHANGE THIS SETTING!
I'm only changing it on a demo ZC install.

I'll update everybody in 3 months and let you know if it worked.
