Padmaja-

Please do not double (or triple) post. I have deleted your other threads, and I believe you will get the most help in the Windows forum, (that or the VB forum), but this is the place to start, and the mod here can move it if they feel it is necessary. In the meantime, please have a look at the Posting Guidelines (which ask you not to do things like triple-post), and I would recommend Googling "windows scripting" or "win32 api" with some reference to the password complexity in the search as well.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Actually I was not knowing where I have to post my query and the solution was very urgent for me and hence posted in 3 different areas.
I have searched the google with all the ways mentioned. But there are methods for all the other properties but I could not find the methods or scripts for this property. Specially oue machine is not in domain it is local computer.
Hence if any body has a solution please do reply.

Thanks
