Password Change Blocked By Policy
Hey folks -
Last year, I allowed the company I work for to "take over" my Mac Pro 7,1, so I could use it to work. Part of that process was the installation of a password policy that I frankly don't agree with. But that's fine: corporate policy. Recently, I've removed that machine from corporate duty, and uninstalled all of the corporate software (including JAMF), as well as the Profiles. That seems to have gone well except that the password policy is still in effect.
I read online that if I nuked the policies stored by:
pwpolicy clearaccountpolicies
that would fix it. I tried that, and it looks like there are, in fact, no policies:
# pwpolicy -v getaccountpolicies
Getting global account policies
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict/>
</plist>
However, that apparently wasn't enough. I still can't go back to the original installation password policy. Is there a way to set this so it's "dumb" and let's me use any ol' password I want?
Thanks!
Mac Pro
