[SOLVED] maximum password length for windows server 2016?

[hmmmmm]

Setting up a server and the data center says the maximum password length for server 2016 is only 14 characters... I know I've had a much longer one before...
Does anyone know the default maximum password length?

are you sure it wasn't the min password length?

 

[hmmmmm]

I previously had a pretty long password, I had to reinstall the OS, and I initially followed their instrutions and put a 14 character password, then I put a much longer one and changed the administrator username too for added security... then I was locked out and had to reinstall the OS again... it's a fully 100% remote dedicated server...

Does anyone know the maximum password length by default in windows server 2016?

Thanks in advance!

The maximum password length is 127 characters. If you managed to lock yourself out it was due to other reasons.

 

[hmmmmm]

That's what I thought, 127.... Do you have a doc on how to change the password in Server 2016? Link?

Thanks for all the help!
