Article ID: Q149396
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95
  • Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release version 2

SYMPTOMS

When you use Dial-Up Networking to connect to a Microsoft Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) server and your password has expired, you are disconnected without an option to change the password.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95 and OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2). An update to address this problem is now available, but is not fully regression tested and should be applied only to computers experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft does not recommend implementing this update at this time. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for additional information about the availability of this update.

MORE INFORMATION

When you connect to a Windows NT RAS server with an expired password, you receive the following error message: 

   Password Expired. Contact your network administrator.
When you click OK, you are disconnected.

This behavior is by design. The updated files add the ability to change an expired password using the Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking client.
