"Password remains valid for"

i'm trying understand "password remains valid for" attribute. used lockoutstatus.exe tool @ user got himself locked out , found "max password age" 90 days, "current password age is" 90 days 5 hours, 40 min , "password remains valid for" value 49710 days. what?

the internet-mention found attribute technet article windows 2000 server , can't find anywhere in gpmc.

thanks.

the "password remains valid for" value isn't active directory related attribute rather calculated field takes max password age, subtracts current password age, , tells how longer password valid. think experiencing error might triggered fact password older allowed (hence account locked out).

what domain / forest functional level? if at a level > server 2003 might experience issues tool designed server 2003.

hope helps.
