Help w/ installing SW on SQL server (2005).

I have a server that has SQL server 2005 installed. I am trying to install additional sw and there seems to be a password algorithm set by our network that is too advanced for the sw i am trying to install. I get a error message stating "password to short" and "password doesnt meet complexity requirements".

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off, disable or bypass the password algorithm?

Thanks!If I understand you correctly...the password complexity checkbox is in the properties of the login (user) you are trying to use. Open the default instance on your server, expand the security folder and click on the logins folder. Right click the user you are attempting to login with and select properties. In the middle of the properties page you will see 3 check boxes with the options you are seeking. Hope this is what you needed.
