asked on How to change password manually for a managed account?
Hello,
I have accounts in Active Directory that are used for SharePoint managed accounts, like search, user profiles synchronization, web application pool, and others. I like to change the passwords for these accounts. I have them changed in Active Directory, so then I go Central Admin to change the password in SharePoint. When I go to Central Admin, I do the following:
1. Select Security
2. Select Configure managed accounts
3. Select Edit to edit an account
4. Select Change password now
5. Select Set account password to new value
6. Type in a password
7. Select OK
Is this correct to change the password manually? When I do this, I get a
"The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements."
The password is more than 6 characters long, and contains numbers, upper and lower case letters and non-alpha characters, like ! and $.
I can change the password with this complex policy just fine in AD, but Windows 2008 R2 and SharePoint don’t like the password.
Can you help?

Are you meeting the "password history requirements"?

Yes, I am meeting the password history requirements.
Using the "Use existing password" option seems to be working.
