However, on informal option I adopted when I got stuck with the Admin Password expiration issue was to backdate my system date (to a date earlier than the expiration date) and I was able to login again
Issues after password expires
I installed the module on Version 10 and it worked fine. However, I noticed that after password expires, based on the expiration period specified, no user (including the Administrator) would be able to login again and no one (including the Administrator) is redirected to the password reset page. If the Admin can be excluded from the password constrain and the users are redirected to the password reset page, then all will be fine. Otherwise, everyone, including the Admin might no longer have access after password expiration. Is there a way to resolve this?
