How to disable tscon pass words length limitation in win10?

Question

I faced the same issue with the following command Command – tscon SessionID /dest:console /password: ****

Resolution: I worked a lot and finally got to know the issue is with password. i.e. the password length should not be greater than 13 characters. But in this case password must >= 15 characters.

If passwords are longer than 13 characters, will always get Invalid Parameters(s)

if passwords less than 13 characters, it works or gave out Error [1326]:The user name or password is incorrect.

Hello there,

Run rsop.msc on the machine then look under:

Computer Conf > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Account Pol > Password Pol

Under there, it will show you Source GPO that is setting the restriction. Then you can open Group Policy management and find the policy needed.

Start a command prompt as administrator in windows

Run the following command:

net user MyUser MyPasswordIsReallyLongIs36Characlong /ADD /Y

For a domain user:

net user MyUser MyPasswordIsReallyLongIs36Characlong /ADD /DOMAIN /Y

Hope this resolves your Query !!
