Thanks so much for your quick response.
So far I've disabled the password policy and unchecked
the link enforced but how do I get it to take effect
immediately. I am trying to reset of our user's passwords
and I get the following message:

Windows cannot complete the password change for
(username) because:

The password does not meet the password policy
requirements. Check the minimum password length, password
complexity and password history requirements.

Why?
