Clear the last 3 used passwords for XP

[gf4200isdabest]

I had forgotten to enable "password never expires" under computer management and now I was forced to change my password. Windows, however, does not want to let me use any of my 3 previous passwords. How do I clear this/go around it? Note: I am not on a domain so this is, in fact, windows forcing me to pick a different password.

Try changing the password three more times to anything other than the pass you really want... if it only stores three then you should be good after the three changes.
