How to setup numeric password in Win XP OS?

[RSP_786]

Hello,
How I can setup numeric only Win XP login Password on a standalone machine? I tried using Gpedit and Account Policies but no success? I sthere any registry setting that night work?

Start>Run>Settings>Control Panel>User Accounts

Click on your account, click on "Create a password" and enter what you want.


If all numbers are refused,
Start>Run>Gpedit.msc>Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy\Password must meet complexity requirements

Change to "disabled"

Hllo Tigsound,

Thanks, I need to eleaborate clearly what I missed earlier. I need to force the numeric Passwords only on the machine. No other characters should be allowed. Please advise.

Thanks again

Now I'm lost...

"Only on the machine" ?? You referenced going into the registry or Group Policy Editor, so I assumed it was the Windows logon password you want to be numbers only and my instructions will do that.

If the Group policy is setup to require password complexity, then a set of rules for what the password consist of is required. If that policy is disabled a password can be as loose as just the number 2 or a single letter, whatever you want.

I have a machine that is not connected to Network or any domain controller.
I need to enfore that any user creating aWin account shoud use only Numerics digits as Password on the machine. I checked Strong Password Policy but we can set enable/disable using "AlphanumPwds" as 0 or 1. To ensure that user must not be able to enter Alphabets characters, how can we enforce? User should be able to enter Numerics only as Password. It could be min 8 and max. 15 digits.
