Guest Bruce. Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I have a laptop with XP Pro that has "Password must meet complexity requirements" enabled in the Local Security Password Policy. I need to turn that off. However, when I try to edit it, the enabled/disabled buttons are grayed out. I'm using an administrator account. How can I reset that? Can I patch the registry somewhere? Thanks, Bruce.

Guest R. McCarty Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Re: Reset password must meet complexity requirements? Even when the laptop isn't connected to the DC it still uses cached credentials so the policies are still enforced. Is your Domain account a "Domain User" or something with higher privilege levels ? A PC that is a Domain member has two types of accounts, Local machine and the Domain which one is prompting for Password compliance?

When you take the machine home, you are probably still logging into the domain using cached credentials unless you know for sure you are logging onto the machine using a local user account. Normally local user accounts, aside from the local built-in administrator, are not created on domain-member machines. You should check with your office's IT Dept. about what you are trying to do.

But for this task, I'm using a laptop local account that I created with admin rights. It still won't let me change the password requirements even using that local account. Bruce.

Guest Waingbubnaino Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: Reset password must meet complexity requirements? Hello, Here is a good source of 'consulting jobs' (http://www.consultingcrossing.com) I recently found called 'ConsultingCrossing' (http://www.consultingcrossing.com). I have heard about this from at least three other consultants in the past few days as a great source of consulting jobs and consulting work. From what I have been told is that 'ConsultingCrossing' (http://www.consultingcrossing.com) researches all of the 'consulting jobs' (http://www.consultingcrossing.com) from other job boards and employer websites and puts them all its site. It is pretty cool and a good resource of jobs. WARNING: a few of the jobs I found seem out of date but I am not sure. The site offers a free trial that is worth investigation before you commit to the site. -- Waingbubnaino Posted via http://www.xpheads.com
Guest accexitlepole Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: Reset password must meet complexity requirements? 'Buy Accutane' (http://my.mashable.com/DrJohn1234) You must have a negative pregnancy test 30 days before you start taking Accutane. A pregnancy test is also required before each prescription is refilled, right after you take your last dose of Accutane, and again 30 days later.
