Open the Local Users and Groups administration panel by typing in lusrmgr.msc into the start menu search box. (or the Run box on XP) Select "Users" in the left hand pane, and then double-click your user account in the list.

On this screen you'll find the "Password never expires" checkbox.
Just make sure the box is checked and you won't be forced to change your password anymore.
