cannot reset password from Exchange 2010 webmail login.

I login to Exchang e 2010 web mail, click option, change password.  The first time it works.  The second time when I try to change it , it says "The password you entered does not meet the mininum security requirements".  

Please advise if someone has an idea.  

Thank you!

In Windows Domain, you can set password complexity and if it is set, by default passwords must meet three of four complexities:  upper case, lower case, number and special characters.  If this complexity is set then the password must meet the minimum length and complexity.  Please check your default domain policy or any other policy where you have configured password length and complexity where the user account belongs to.
You can also disable that password policy if you want in active directory.
The standard policy is best practice thought...

something to think about

our default domain password policy has no complexity requirements.  Just min password length is set to 6 chars.  

Thanks.

I created a GPO and defined the minimum password age to 0.  I defined it in computer configuration.  For some reason, it was filtered out and did not apply.  

Can I defined it in user configuration?  Is this the right way to do it?

Please advise again.

Thanks.
