Unable to update password

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

I made some changes to the default group policy for passwords.
Like password complextity., length and etc.

I went into AD users and computers and started unckecking the
box in account which says password never expires and all of sudden
after changing about 3 or 4 users and starting from 5th user I satred
getting an error the moment I unchecked password never expires
and tried to check user must change password on next logon

error:

The followung AD error occured: Unable to update password. The value
provided for the new password doesn't meet the length, complexity of history
requirement of the domain.

Please advice ASAP. SOS !
I am logged in as administrator.

I have seen that before if the user account you do that to has a blank
password and the password is older than specified in your current password
policy. You could try to "reset" the password to a password that complies
with your policy. --- Steve
