Windows 10: Can't change to local account

When I try to change to a local account on my 10 machine I get this message

"The password you entered isn't complex enough to meet this PC's requirements. Please go back and try a password that contains numbers, letters and symbols"

The password does contain letters, numbers and symbols.

I have checked with secpol.msc and there is no password policy set, but I suspect this may be for domain joined PCs only

Windows 10 Local Account

And we get a tutorial that shows us how to create a dang account instead of how to get our . Like we are stupid! Ugh!

 

Windows 10 Local Account

I am logged into my Microsoft account and I want to log into the current I have used for years. When I followed instructions, it wants me to create a new instead of just adding the current one. How do I add the current one that
has all of my settings already established on my computer?

Thanks.

I have the same problem using Win 10 Pro. Good news is you can change to a local account by entering no password. Bad news is that even after changing to a local account, you still cannot set up a password and get the same error message. I have not explored beyond that.

 

Good to know, but does not help in my case as I need a password to be set in order for network sharing to work seamlessly between machines.
