over-ride the local security policy of my laptop computer ??

[Spin]

How can I over-ride the local security policy of my laptop computer (which
is on a Windows 2000 native-mode domain) so that my LOCAL account username
can use a really short password? I don't care if my domain password has to
be long and complex, but I want the local one to be short.

I went there but my settings are all grayed out....

Did you remember to log on LOCALLY as an admin?? (as in domain=computer_name
on logon screen)?
