The password you typed does not meet the password policy requirements
It's an extremely long password, but apparently it's not complex enough. Enforce password history: 0 passwords Maximum password age: 60 days Minimum password age: 0 days Minimum password length: 10 characters Password must meet complexity requirements: Disabled Store passwords using reversible encryption: Disabled Any suggestions?

Try to create shorter password about eight char. If you have preview policy then it might remain. use gpupdate in command to enfore new policy. use alphabet and number only and see what will happen.

Hi, Passwords must meet complexity requirements determines whether password complexity is enforced. If this setting is enabled, user passwords meet the following requirements: The password is at least six characters long. The password contains characters from at least three of the following five categories: English uppercase characters (A - Z) English lowercase characters (a - z) Base 10 digits (0 - 9) Non-alphanumeric (For example: !, $, #, or %) Unicode characters The password does not contain three or more characters from the user's account name. If the account name is less than three characters long, this check is not performed because the rate at which passwords would be rejected is too high. When checking against the user's full name, several characters are treated as delimiters that separate the name into individual tokens: commas, periods, dashes/hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound-signs and tabs. For each token that is three or more characters long, that token is searched for in the password; if it is present the password change is rejected. For example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" would be split into three tokens: "Erin," "M," and "Hagens." Because the second token is only one character long, it would be ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "erin" or "hagens" as a substring anywhere in the password. All of these checks are case insensitive. These complexity requirements are enforced upon password change or creation of new passwords. It is recommended that you enable this setting.
