Having trouble creating a login account.

Hello,
I am trying to create a TEST environment by replicating everything on
the PRODUCTION environment.
When creating a login under Sercurity, I am using the same user name
and passowrd. However, I am getting the following error message:
Password validation failed. The password does not meet Windows policy
requirements becuase it is not complex enough. ( Microsoft SQL Server,
Error: 15118 )
Is there some kind of setting I need to change to have lower
requirements?
Thank you!Hi

I assume this is SQL Server 2005!!
You can create your login using the CREATE LOGIN statement and the option
CHECK_POLICY = OFF which will ignore password policy checking, but you shoul
d
really use policy checking on both systems and strong passwords on all
accounts.
