Hi there,
It may be the case that the minimum length is not set, however you may have the server set to need passwords with a minimum complexity. The complexity requirements for Windows 2008 Server are:
a) Passwords cannot contain the user's account name or parts of the user's full name that exceed two consecutive characters.
b) Passwords must be at least six characters in length if "Password must meet complexity requirements" is enabled
c) Passwords must contain characters from three of the following four categories:
- English uppercase characters (A through Z).
- English lowercase characters (a through z).
- Base 10 digits (0 through 9).
- Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %).

Hope that helps!
