Re: installation problem with postgres password

that is what i though, but i tried many different combinations for
password, and at least 1 of them should satisfy policy requirements.
also my windows user password, which is accepted by OS and thus
satisfies the requirements resulted in same message

i did try to see what policy is active, but i am using win 7 Home
Premium and i could find a way for this version to see/change
policies.
the only thing i found is by running "net accounts" from command
prompt. which shows the following:

and those are very simple password policy which all combinations i used satisfy
