I get error: Your password must be at least 0 characters long.
March 4, 1999
A. If you have enabled the strong password filter (for information onthis see Q. How do I enable strong password filtering?) but your domain account policy has no passwordrestrictions and allows blank passwords then you will get the error:
Your password must be at least 0 characters long. Your new passwordcannot be the same as any of your previous 0 passwords. Also, your site mayrequire passwords that must be a combination of upper case, lower case,numbers, and non-alphanumeric characters. Type a password which meets theserequirements in both text boxes.
To resolve this you will need to turn off the secure password filter
Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlLsa
Double click on "Notification Packages"
Remove the value "PASSFILT"
Click OK
Close the registry editor
Reboot the machine
Alternatively turn off the ability to have blank passwords:
Start User Manager
Select Account from the Policies menu
Set the minimum password length to 6 or above
Click OK
