@SteveRobbins's query is good when it requires to re-activate all the admin users.

For re-activating just 1 admin user run this query:

UPDATE enterprise_admin_passwords SET expires = UNIX_TIMESTAMP() + (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) WHERE user_id in (select user_id from admin_user where username='YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME')

Or just remove all the entries for that user in enterprise_admin_passwords table:

delete from enterprise_admin_passwords where user_id in (select user_id from admin_user where username='YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME');

UPDATE enterprise_admin_passwords
SET expires = UNIX_TIMESTAMP() + (365 * 24 * 60 * 60)

Will give each admin another year.

Clear your cookies and try again.

Go to System->Configuration, ADVANCED->Admin->Security and see Password Lifetime (days) and Password Change fields.
