INFO: NERR_PasswordTooShort Error Returned for Other Errors

MORE INFORMATION

On Windows NT and Windows 95, the error ERROR_PASSWORD_RESTRICTION (1325) is returned if a new password is too short, a password is blank when a password is required, a password does not meet the complexity criterion, a password is longer than 14 characters, or a password is being reused without meeting password history requirements. For downlevel systems, Windows NT must map the ERROR_PASSWORD_RESTRICTION error code to one of the existing LAN Manager error codes. Because there is no comparable LAN Manager error, on Windows NT 3.1, ERROR_PASSWORD_RESTRICTION was mapped to ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR (59). On Windows NT 3.5 and later, ERROR_PASSWORD_RESTRICTION is mapped to NERR_PasswordTooShort (2245).
