Here it states that the policy must adhere to

  • Passwords must meet complexity requirements determines whether password complexity is enforced. If this setting is enabled, user passwords meet the following requirements:

  • The password is at least six characters long.

  • The password contains characters from at least three of the following five categories:

    • English uppercase characters (A - Z)

    • English lowercase characters (a - z)

    • Base 10 digits (0 - 9)

    • Non-alphanumeric (For example: !, $, #, or %)

    • Unicode characters

  • The password does not contain three or more characters from the user's account name.

They only setting is to ENABLE or DISABLE this feature.

I was wondering if there is a way to change this policy? IF so where?
