Error while attempting to create an windows xp user

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

This error message means that you are not following the password requirements. But how can you find out what the requirements are?

Follow the instructions below:

            Find out what are the password policy requirements:

-         Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Local Security Policy

o       In Account Policies folder, select Password Policy  and you can see the password requirements.

In this way, you can also change the requirements and reduce or increase the complexity.
