I'm trying to reset a laptop's default password policy in xpsp1 but gpedit seems to be read only, I'm logged in as local administrator and disconnected from the network. The rest of gpedit is grand, it's just the Account policy's that seem to be read only, I've also checked the permissions on the policy's but everything seems fine, I searched the registry but couldn't find the appropriate key to edit.

Are you connected to a domain and logged in as local admin, disconnected from the domain?
