How to clear password policies applied to a user account on Macos 10

In the context of macOS 10.x (such as 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, etc.), this command can help disable requirements for password complexity, allowing you to set a simple password (e.g., "123" or a short password) without being rejected by the system.

Detailed Explanation:

• pwpolicy: A command-line tool on macOS for managing password policies, such as requirements for passwords to include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, or a minimum length.
• -clearaccountpolicies: This option removes all password policies applied to user accounts or the system, bypassing restrictions on password complexity.
• sudo: Requires administrator privileges to execute the command, as modifying password policies is a sensitive action.

When to Use This Command?

Use this command when:

• The macOS system rejects simple passwords (e.g., displays errors like "password too short" or "password not complex enough").
• You want to remove complex password rules to set an easier password (e.g., "123").

How to Use in Terminal:

    Open Terminal:
        Go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
    Run the Command:

Enter the administrator password when prompted.
