Jeff, I can't say this with the same authority as some of the others that frequent this list, but it has been my experience that some of the password settings are persistent. When we wanted to remove the settings to test some software we had written in-house, rather than setting the policy to not defined, we had to set the password length to 0, the password history to 0, complexity to disabled, etc.
