How to disable default windows password filter

[vhad]

I am using windows xp pro.
I want windows checks password complexity requirement only using my custom password filter, ignoring windows default password filter.

Is it possible ?

Thank in advance.

Explain further.

You have written software to hook MSGINA and pass your own credentials and filter the password used?

In that instance, disable the password complexity requirements under Group Policy.

I am creating a password filter (passwordfilter.dll).

I put the password filter (.dll) into the system folder and set Local Security Policy (Security Setting -> Account Policies -> Password Policy -> Password must meet complexity requirements ) to enabled.

I am creating a password filter that has lower complexity requirement than the default windows complexity requirements.
for i.e = allow password having only mix of uppercase and lowercase letter.

But when I rebooted and try to changed the password. Windows still need the default windows complexity requirement, whisc is :
Mix three of four categories (Uppercase, Lowercase, Digit, and Special Characters)

I try to set the registry ( HKLM->Security->Current Control Set->Control->LSA->Notification Packages) contains only my password filter.
But still windows checked the password with its default complexity requirement.

Is there any way to disabled the windows password filter ?

Thanks.
