You can change the Enable Password Aging setting for the specified users to No Restrictions (Normal Behavior) settings. It will not make the user to keep the passwd aging policy.

It will make you to keep the some accounts not to follow aging policies,

To do as,

Selece the users,

go to Actions --> modify --> modify passwd otpions ---> Password Options: [ No Restrictions (Normal Behavior) ->]

Unless this is a Trusted system, you are not going to be able to go beyond this limit --- and it is not a SAM limitation but rather built in to the fabric of the passwd aging subfield itself. The maximum age is encoded in a single character representing a base-64 number.
