Gpedit.msc - password length greyed out

[Guest]

Hi! I would like to reduce my password length to fewer digit using
gpedit.msc, but i noticed that the password length option is greyed out (all
the option in the password policy). I think i made some changes previously. I
can't remember what i did. The "regedit" command is also blocked.

Is there anyway that i can enable it back again? Thanks.

Then your admin account corrupted or your machine is infected, try to log
with another account and see if that will work?.

Hi! I'm logging in using an administrator account. I don't think it's
infected. I think there are some changes that was made using poledit or some
sricpts that disabled it when we perform OS hardening. It's actualy a master
image.

Any idea??

You need to find whichever <script> or program you used and access the Admin
shield to gain access to it and make your changes.
Look for these Files does they exist try to access them:
Conf.adm
Inetres.adm
Inetset.adm
Shell.adm
Subs.adm

Also does these Files exist in the System32;
gpedit.dll and fde.dll
C:\Windows\System32

Look for the Policy files created and saved on your system and access it
they will look like these:
Standard.pol
Config.pol

Locate the Admin account and try to open it:
C:\Admin\Apptools\Poledit

Try in safe Mode and locate these keys and change the value to allow you
under policies
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer=
"RestrictRun"=dword:00000000 to 0000001 to enable.
[-]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System =

"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000 to 000000001 to enable

or these Keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer =
