net password set -UAdministrator Bbbbbb

[Sassy Natan]

Problem Fixed!!!

It seems that when provisiong the sever with non complex password the net
utility will not work only after chaning the Administratr password to be
complex one.

Once I did it the net utility is working.

But I still have problem with the Group Policy going back to default after
restart.
Even if I create a new GPO the changes are back to normal
