Cannot create a new user in AD

[harry300873]

Hi,

I get an error messages like this while creating a new user object in my AD.
Windows cannot set the password for <username> because: The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check minimum password length, complexity,.....

Any other object creations work fine.

Password length, complexity and so on are correct!!
Is it a problem with GPO?

thanx for help

someone has set a gpo to have complex passwords, use passwords with numbers and caps and lowercase or, just log on as an admn user edit your gpo (where ever it is) and turn it off. However, I do think it should be left on for securtiy purposes

Does the password contain a large part of the username - this catches a lot of people out.
