Error in changing password. Doesn't Password Policy Requirement
Hi,
I am having problems changing the password of the local administrator in Windows 10 Home.
Before, I can use a simple password without any complexity. I noticed the changes the first time I used Microsoft Outlook and added my email in the company I am working with. Windows suddenly asked me to change my password with a complexity so I changed it. But I don't want to use complex password when logging in to my PC. I tried to change my password to my simple password but I receive the following error:
"The password you entered doesn't meet password policy requirements. Try one that's longer or more complex."
Upon research, this can be fixed in Local Group Policy. However, I can't find this anywhere in my PC. Even gpedit.msc and secpol.msc are not existing. I learned that these are not supported in Windows Home. But why is there a password policy requirement? I can't change my password to a simple one.
Now I am lost. I don't know how to remove the password policy requirements without the Local Group Policy.
Note: This is just a local administrator account, not a Microsoft account.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
