Password Complexity Requirements

Question Password Complexity Requirements

When a user logs in automatically as User or an administrator logs in as Administrator with the default password, XPe pops up a window stating that "Current password does not meet Password Complexity Requrements. Select another password."

The thin client is a V90L running XPe 5.01 SP3 (version 6.01 Build 0673.1024). How do I prevent this popup from popping up?

We had the same issue and I believe implemented the following solution (sorry, our Wyse setup script is fairly extensive but I believe this is the section that addresses your question):

First, run the following command from the CMD Prompt: DEL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\changepassword.exe"

Second, create a blank REG file and copy the following into the file

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run]
"changepassword.exe"=-

Run the REG file on the Wyse to make the registry change and you should no longer have this issue.

No Events found!
