Or, as "man 1 passwd" suggests:

[...]
Default values may be set in the /etc/default/security file for the -n min, -x max,
and -w warn options. See security(4). The attributes to select password aging defaults are:

PASSWORD_MINDAYS

PASSWORD_MAXDAYS

PASSWORD_WARNDAYS
[...]

It might help a little if you revealed your
OS version. "uname -a" is pretty easy to do.

Trouble with "passwd"? "man passwd" is also
pretty easy to do.

You have password aging. What does this show?
grep rjp /etc/passwd

Anything after a "," in the password field indicates aging info.
