Windows 10: Password change requirement every 6 months to access desktop in Windows 10.

I disabled the password requirement from the user accounts on a friends Windows 10 computer as I had done on mine. I have never been required to change the password every 6 months and after removing the requirement for a password have not needed one. Why can I not permanently remove the requirement for a password.
