See manual for ligins - http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60105/logins.1M.html

... and, if a password is present, date of last change, required number of days between changes, and number of days allowed between changes. In the case of non-trusted systems, the date of last change will be the latest Thursday since the change.

This is the reason for 03, instead of 07 January.
