How can I make my Mac accept a user password of less then 4 characters? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
I found this not so easy solution on web, that works quickly instead of necessity to do it by Server application from apple.
In Terminal:
pwpolicy getaccountpolicies > temp.xml
nano temp.xml
Now remove text prior to first <xml
tag and replace
<string>policyAttributePassword matches '^$|.{4,}+'</string>
to
<string>policyAttributePassword matches '^$|.{1,}+'</string>
then save file (Ctrl-O), exit (Ctrl-X) and run
sudo pwpolicy setaccountpolicies temp.xml
to install the updated policy.
