    Re: password complexity disabled

    You have to input a strong password if you want to reset the it in windows 2003 because by default Windows Server 2003 requires passwords to meet the following criteria for strong passwords, that are as follows:
    • Has at least 6 characters
    • Does not contain "Administrator" or "Admin"
    • Contains characters from three of the following categories:
    • Uppercase letters (A, B, C, and so on)
    • Lowercase letters (a, b, c, and so on)
    • Numbers (0, 1, 2, and so on)
    • Non-alphanumeric characters (#, &, ~, and so on)
