Good password change fails due to complexity. busterama 09-01-2005

If you were  Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
Windows XP Pro on a 2003 Server domain.

ctrl+alt+del to change password. I enter the current valid password
and then a new password (ie BERk3-nod) and it fails with the message
that it doesn't meet complexity requirements. The password does meet
the complexity requirements.

I set the complexity requirements in both domain and local Group Policy
Objects to "disabled". The Group Policy Results show it as disabled.
Still, Windows won't let me change the password due to complexity.

I called Microsoft, but they said the would not provide support for
security or passwords. Sheesh, tout the security of your product but
deny support for problems with security.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Buster
