For account policy in both local server and domain server, the minimum character for password is 0.
Moreover, I can use user account to change password in w2k GUI (ie. CTRL+ALT+DEL --> change password), with the same set of password tried in Cygwin. I don't want user use the console, so I hope they can change their password using telnet. Would you mind to help me ?
