Active Directory Won't Change Password

When I try to set or change a password for a user either on the server itself or on the workstation, I get the following error:

Windows cannot complete the password change because:
The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements.


The only two group policies I have so far are the Default Domain Policy and the Default Domain Controller Policy where under both Computer Configuration settings, the Password Policy settings are all set to Not Defined. Do these need to be set to disabled or is there some other setting that needs to be changed in order to let me have no requirements for a password?
 
Nevermind, I got it to work, guess it helps when you actually define the settings.
