it could well be the system's date and time setting (odd i know).
if unix finds 'last password change date' of an account = 1/1/1970 (year 0000 for unix) it forces password change on next login.
if your systems' date is like that and you change (as required) the password, each time you login on the same day it will require you to change password.

correct the system's date and it may go away.
