The maximum number of days to keep the same password is set in CW Admin. This utility can be found in the business tier directory (Default location: C:\Program Files\CAREWare\RW CAREWare Business Tier).

Note: The location is different in the CW Admin utility between version 4.1 and 5 of CAREWare.

In version 4.1:

1. Open the utility and press “Stop Server”.
2. Change the table name to LocalNumberStorage.
3. Highlight “MaximumDaysToKeepSamePassword” and select “Edit”. This will allow you to edit this field in the settings box.
4. Change the number of days to keep the same password to your liking.
5. Click on "Save" and then "Start Server".
   

In version 5:

1. Open the utility and press “Stop Server”.
2. Click on the Common Storage Settings tab.
3. Locate the “MaximumDaysToKeepSamePassword” row in the cmm_st_pk row
4. Change the value for that row in the cmm_st_number column to your liking.
5. Click on a different row/column to save the change.
6. Click on the "Server Settings" tab.
7. Click on "Start Server".
   

Important: Remember this is a security feature. Passwords should be renewed on a regular basis.
