Hey Steve,
Yeah, I know what you’re talking about with the password thing, but when
the boss tells me she doesn’t want “crazy symbols” in her password, and
asks me to remove that feature.. I just do what I’m told.
Anyway I tried what you said, and got this error when trying to make a
new account (wanted to make sure it would work before I told her it was
fixed)
Start error—
Windows cannot set the password for [user name here] because:
The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the
minimum passwords length, password complexity and password history
requirements.
End error—
The password I tried to use for this account was “abc123”
Any ideas?
Thanks.
