Change the Password Complexity of Windows Server 2008
For a default install of windows server 2008 the password has to be overly complex. This is a right pain in the ass. To switch this off (this won't work if it's part of a domain) use the following:
Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
Open Account Policy and change the field "Password must meet complexity requirements" to disabled.
Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
Open Account Policy and change the field "Password must meet complexity requirements" to disabled.
