If system is not trusted:

SAM --> Accounts for users and groups --> users --> highlight the userid and press tab key and then A --> click on modify --> click on "modify passwd options --> select no restrictions.

dear
u can use -x option
see brief description about it

-x max Determine the maximum number of days, max, a password can remain unchanged. The user must enter another
password after that number of days has transpired, known as the password expiration time.If the -f option was used in a previous invocation of passwd to
immediately expire a password, the effect of the -f option is cancelled, and the password will not expire until max days. The effect of the -f option is not
cancelled if the -x option and the -f option are specified on the same command line or if the system has been converted to a trusted system. The min and max arguments are each represented in units of days.
These arguments will be rounded up to the nearest week on a nontrusted HP-UX system. If the system is then converted to a trusted system, the number of days will be based on those weeks. If only one of the
two arguments is supplied, and the other argument does not exist, then the number of days is set to zero.

thanks and regards
