Problem after setting password policy



Hi All,

I recently changed the password policy on our server by going to "administrative tools" -> "domain security policy"

I have now enabled "password must meet complexity requirements".

If I set a users account to "user must change password at next logon" then the use is able to change passwords without a problem.

But now, users are unable to change their passwords, by going to ctrl-alt-del -> change password.

No matter how complex the password is, the server always complains that the password does not meet the requirements.

I tried changing minimum password age to 0, it didn't make any difference.
