Cannot change password in Windows 7

When I try to change my password on my Windows 7 laptop, it hangs for a while and then told me that the password that I entered does not respect the rules of complexity.  I don't have all the rules of market complexity.  What else could be wrong / (and I did not use this password on this computer before!).

Help!  This prevent me to sync files with my work Server (which is located on a remote network to which I connect via VPN).

I hear what you say but what you always report suggests that the password of the server of the office strategy has been applied to your laptop. If you have a newer version of Windows 7 you can use the policy editor to disable the complexity requirements:

  1. Run gpedit.msc
  2. Follow this path: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policies / password policy. Double click on "password must meet complexity requirements" on the right, then put it on "disabled".

    This particular configuration is with Coldfusion 11. There is no errors in newspapers and the w3 service still works as are application pools. All websites and app pools run with transmission of authentication request.

    ColdFusion does not work with windows authentication and may be enforced as if reconfigured integrated instance to do this, if this isn't a matter of colfusion.

    Here is what I tried:

    1 I created a new user account with admin rights and disconnected and logged in as them and then make changes to the password on the server, and that didn't make a difference.
    2. I checked that all Web sites using the request pass through authentication.
    3. I checked that the application pool is also using the application-pass-through authentication.
    4. I looked to find errors in which case newspapers but don't see anything there either
    5. I also searched a failure in coldfusion logs and saw no more relevant here either, but I got colfusion running without IIS in any case.

  • Users cannot change password for 802.1 x and implementation of ISE

    Hi all

    We have implemented cisco ISE 1.1 for a week and we notice that Microsoft active directory the user cannot change password there when it expired.

    We store all user account in Microsoft active directory for authentication and ISE is mapped with Microsoft active directory. Normally, when your expired password Microsoft active directory ask you to change your password, but in our case cisco switch or 802. 1 x do not allow communication with active directory before giving access to the network. Is this a configuration error or cisco do not support this?

    Best regards.

    I can't change the password on Windows 8. I followed the instructions. It is said.

    "Change your password.

    I had the same password for my account live and computer laptop.

    What should I do?

    Hi Samir,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, I understand that you can not change your password.

    This could happen due to some system conflicts.

    Try the methods.

    Method 1:

    I suggest that you have to temporarily disable the antivirus security software installed on your computer and check.

    Warning: Antivirus software helps protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software and/or any relevant issue, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks by malicious software.

    Method 2:

    Change your password

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/change-your-password

    You can also directly access your Microsoft account settings, online from any computer and change the password.

  • Cannot change default program windows 7 64 bit

    I have a user who is running windows 7 64 bit which cannot change default programs. This only happens on the computer if it is connect. So I think it has something to do with his profile.  I noticed that when I go in the Panel and click default programs on associated with a file type I can choose the new program, but it will not save.

    We just migrated to a new domain and transferred all the user profiles with the Microsoft migration tool.

  • Cannot change password user AD of ASA

    ASA 8.4 running.

    Yet, I am able to change the password at the same time a post work, so there is no policy of gp who refuses change of password. We have minimum days 0 and no complexity required. I'll meet the minimum length.

  • The user cannot change password

    Hi all

    I have my users set up in the .rpd have to change their password every 90 days. My first user just hit this limit. She received an ODBC error that says the password has expired and please change the password. Unfortunately - there is no room available to do so. I think that OBIEE would come with a change of password area - but it isn't. I also searched on OTN and the documentation and cannot find anywhere that solves this problem. I think it's an easy fix - but can't seem to find where if users are allowed to change their password. Any ideas?

  • Windows 7 Administrator account cannot change password ("the password entered is incorrect")

    I have a user account on my computer. This is an administrator account. I can connect with my administrator password and I am in this account as I write this. When I try to change the password in the control panel-> user accounts-> change your Windows password I get my password for the existing administrator and then the new twice, but I get the error message "the password entered is incorrect. Please re-enter your current password. »

    • I entered the current password is the correct (otherwise I wouldn't be connected to the account).
    • I made repeated tests, so I can exclude typos
    • the caps lock is disabled

    How can I work around this problem to change my password? "Current password" means something other than the password I used to access my account?

    Is it possible to display the version of distorted of the password so that I can use it when you change the account password?

    There is no way to display an existing password.

    To dig a little deeper, I suggest you do this:

    1. Create an alternative admin account. You should have it anyway, even that you have a spare House key, because you'd be in diabolical trouble, if something went wrong with your one and only the admin account.
    2. Test the alternative account.
    3. Play with the password for your existing account. If you get locked, use the alternative account to reset the password.

  • Change password of Windows backup and restore

    I have recently changed my password administrator and need my Windows backup so that this new change. When I go through the button "check your network credentials ' Options, and select the"re - enter your user name and password"need me through the page"Configuration Backup. Without asking me to effectively re-enter credentials.

    So, despite this ridiculous process. How can I re - enter the correct credentials that windows backup needs.

    Kind regards.

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Since you are already connected to the PC via the administrator password, backup and restore will require not just any password because it is a feature of Windows. It is possible that you need to enter the password if you are working on network PC using Backup and Restore.

If Yes, just open the Mail application, and then open the charms of the right side of the screen, select settings, select accounts, select your Yahoo account, scroll down and select delete account, delete Yahoo account. Return to the accounts screen, tap Add account, add your account Yahoo, back with the new password.
