Unable to update the password because a password update rule has been violated.

Explanation:

Examples are: (1) the new password contains too many characters; (2) the administrator may have put limits on how often a password can be changed; or (3) the new password matches a password in the recent history log and the administrator does not want passwords to be reused.

User Action:

Ask your administrator what the password update rules are, and then retry the operation.
