Give a stronger password then.... I think the "strength" of the password can be defined in the domain controller. I have a number of stock passwords that I use for default installations and occasionally they are reject due to the same error on client networks because they enforce a password strength policy.

Use letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols: @!#)$(&
