BenThair,
To change the time requirement:

Maximum Password Age

From Wondows help:
Maximum password age
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy

Description
Determines the period of time (in days) that a password can be used before the system requires the user to change it. You can set passwords to expire after a number of days between 1 and 999, or you can specify that passwords never expire by setting the number of days to 0.
