Disable Password Complexity Requirements?

First, let me start out by saying: The server is not joined to any domain yet.

Tried to create a temporary admin account with a lame password (like "password") for testing purposes.  Hyper-V Server wouldn't let me, complaining that it didn't meet the minimum password requirements.  Tried to disable that requirement via a remote workstation running gpedit.msc pointed at the HV server.  The password restriction settings don't seem to be there.  In the time I allotted to tackling this issue, I couldn't get secpol.msc to point at the HV server (tried using /computer=servername switch).  Maybe it's not possible?

The reason I started with that statement (about the server not being joined to a domain), is because all my searches led to folks saying "change the domain group policy".

Unresolved...
