For the 2008 Server Core. To lift the password complexity:

secedit /export /cfg C:\new.cfg

Then you edit new.cfg (it is ini format) and change line “PasswordComplexity = 1″ to “PasswordComplexity = 0″.

Apply it on Hyper-V server with:

secedit /configure /db %windir%\security\new.sdb /cfg C:\new.cfg /areas SECURITYPOLICY

Can we fully disable the password for 2008 server. Really irritating when it always ask to change password every 30 days

I am surprised at all of the trouble everyone here is having coming up with a sufficient password! I would think if one is “tech savvy” enough to require/desire Server 2008 (or any server OS for that matter) he should at the very least be able to follow the simple directions for creating a secure password. Instead you all now have the same password. Sad really…
