Is it "expired" or "disabled"?
Or, if you do DSPUSRPRF do you see (sample 1)

User profile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : ACCTG
Previous sign-on . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 08/09/08
Sign-on attempts not valid . . . . . . . . : 0
Status . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *ENABLED
Date password last changed . . . . . . . . : 10/04/95
Password expiration interval . . . . . . . : *NOMAX

Or (2),
Sign-on attempts not valid . . . . . . . . : 4
Status . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *DISABLED
Date password last changed . . . . . . . . : 10/04/95

Or (3),

Date password last changed . . . . . . . . : 10/04/95

Or (4),

Date password last changed . . . . . . . . : 10/04/95
Password expiration interval . . . . . . . : 90

1 = Generic user profile that works fine here.
2 = Someone who used the wrong password a number of times and activated
system values QMAXSIGN and QMAXSGNACN.
3 = Commonly done by CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(ACCTG) PASSWORD(ACCTG) PWDEXP(*YES)
to force a password change at next login. A technique so common that any
hacker tries a WRKOBJ QUSRSYS/*ALL *MSGQ and these default passwords.
4 = You only thought it was set to not expire. This says otherwise.

See audit journals.
