<br>
unfortunately, Directory Manager cannot bypass password policy.<br>
<br>
It could drive to inconsistencies if a new password matches one of the passwords kept in history.<br>
<br>
Eventually, a workaround would be just to reset passwordhistory of a certain user like this:<br>
<br>
<br>
ldapmodify -ZZZ -D "cn=directory manager" -w <password> -h localhost<br>
dn: uid=test01,ou=People,dc=**,dc=**,dc=**<br>
changetype: modify<br>
delete: passwordHistory<br>
<br>
This has been described, for instance, in:<br>
