Activesync (require password)

[fortage]

Exchange 2007 Activesync policy enabled requiring password and the password expires every 30 days. How can a user change this password before it expires?

They just need to change the password on their phone. This is not a password stored in AD or Exchange. The policy only requires that the phone have a local password enabled (usually a PIN but sometimes even a "pattern") and that it be changed periodically.

I could not find the option on the phone. It is not the "unlock pattern" under settings/security as that only allows a pattern not alpha numeric code.

What kind of phone is it? If it's Android, the Change Screen Lock option actually lets you set a pattern, PIN or password.
