access denied when patching registry for to remove exchange securitypolicy

Hello NG,

I would like to remove the exchange policy, that forces me to set a
password on my WM 6.0

But when I try to change HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies/0001023 to 1 I
get an "Access denied" error.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you!

Of course you are right! As I forgot to mention, it's about a device no
longer deployed.

That's what I did, but the policy remained active. As the device was
only for testing, I made a hard reset. Before that I tried everything I
found on google, nothing worked...

Thank you!
