I was wandering if Joomla has a built in Admin Password timeout. I have about 5 Joomla Website's that I deal with and it seems like if I don't log in every couple of days I have to go through the steps to reset my admin password!! Any help would be appeciated.

Thanks

Expired? There is no such thing.. I'm willing to bet though, your site has been compromised.

What about the fact that we fixed this 3 months ago? It's not our problem (and hence don't blame us) if you didn't upgrade by now...

oh wow really!!! Honestly, I wasnt bashing anyone at all I thought that this was something that you did not want to tell anyone or fix. I am not mad or angered at all. If I came accross like that I apologize. I am a big fan of Joomla and I never bash this. No my sites was not comprimised. I just had to reset my password every third day. No problem though.

Again.. you miss the point.. this PROVES your site has/is being hacked. There is no such *feature* in Joomla.. why would anyone want such a feature?
