I am trying to reset passwords on users accounts. I want
to use a simple 5 word password nothing to fancy.
Everytime I try to set the password it says:

Windows cannot complete the password change for 'user'
because: The password does not meet the password policy
requirements. Check the minumum password lenght, Password
complexity and password history requirements.

I have changed default domain policy, default domain
controller policy, domain controller security policy, and
domain security policy to:
Enforce password history 0 passwords
Maximum password age 0
Minimum password age 0 days
Minimum password length 5 characters
Password must meet complexity Disabled
Store passwords using reversible encription Not Defined.

Where else do I have to change this.
 
Domain policy is where you should change the password policy...

make sure the polices are updated on the other domain controllers
(check eventlogs)
