I guess chage is for local users, not domain ones.


Yes. In that case you probably have a password expiry policy on your
domain controller. That is nothing you can influence from your
workstation. So you can only try to change the password and hope that
expiry will be reset.

IIRC the password expiry period is 42 days in a default installation.
Do you get any hints other than the fact that the password is expiring?
