Dear All,

I hav Win2K3 domain network.

my PC has winXP O/s. that is member of domain of win2k3 server.

when i login as adimistrator of local PC it ask for password.

but i donot need password & so if i tried to change the password
"Nil" .

it shows an error that password shd be of 2 chr minimum.

but there is no server security policy applied there on DC for
Clients.

so i tried to change local security policy of my PC but into Account
policy\password policy when i click on minimun password length it
shows in disabled mode.

so i make my PC a member of workgroup.& after restarting it remain
showing the same disabled mode of all the security setting of password
policy.

but other then these policies[Account policy\password policy ] all
other policy I can change.

those are not disabled mode.

what is this problem.

thanx in advance

Just put in a password that is 8+ characters with at least three of the four
following:
- lower-case letter
- upper-case letter
- symbol
- number

Even Passw0rd would work.
Or passw0rd!

As far as you *not needing* a password... Then you shouldn't care if you
have one or not. The lack of a need for one doesn't mean having one is a
bad thing (and not having a password on an account on a computer - no matter
how isolated you think it is, especially on an administrative level
account - is foolhardy at best.)
