Workaround for Windows Server 2008 password policy cannot be modified

In my usual use of Windows Server 2008, sometimes you need to change the password, but the server 2008 password policy is very strict, so it is not completely in accordance with their own intentions to modify the password, so I would like to be able to change the password policy. After the Internet search, the answer is yes.

A lot of information on the internet is telling me to do this: "Local Group Policy Editor"--"Computer Configuration"-"Windows Settings"-"Security Settings" ——-"Account Policy"-"password Policy", but it is disappointing to enter the interface to modify the relevant policies, found to be gray, There is no way to make changes;

Did not want to understand why, so then on the Internet to find the reason, because it is related to the domain: I changed the local policy, and My computer is in the domain, is managed by the domain, in order to resolve this problem, it must be in the domain to make changes.

This is: Management tools-Group Policy Management-Group Policy objects--default Domain policy--settings (or run gpmc.msc), locate the account policy/password policy in the security settings,

Right click on the option to edit, in the popup interface to do the following "Computer Configuration"-"policy"-"Windows Settings"-"Security Settings" ——-"Account Policy" then you can make the changes as you like.

After the change is complete, run the DOS window as administrator and enter "Gpupdate/force" to force the update policy. Finally you can modify the administrator password in Active Directory users and computers, and be careful not to Del+ctrl|+alt
