    Hi,
    When I try to reset the Administrator password in Active
    Directory, I get the following message

    "Windows cannot complete the password change for
    Administrator because: The password does not meet the
    password policy requirements. Check the minimum password
    length, pasword complexity and password history
    requirements."

    I have turned off the complexity for passwords in
    the "Default Domain Policy". I have also disabled the
    default profile in Active Directory and locally on the
    computer. Is there any other place to
    disable this?
