Can someone tell me the difference between Password Expiration Time and Password Lifetime?

Does anyone have the precise definitions of the two?

Thanks,

* Password expiration time, after which the password must be changed

* Password lifetime, after which the account is locked.


This is from the HP-UX System Administration tasks manual in the Managain Passwords and System Access section of the Managing System Security chapger.
