This is a tricky little thing.
It is not enough to simply set a the values to 0. You must set them to a value then gpupdate and then to 0 and update.
Otherwise the original values will not be overwritten.
all the best

Hi,
Please provide me more detailed information connected to your current Default Domain Policy > Password Policy configuration settings.
· Enforce password history: (typically =0)
· Maximum password age: (typically =0)
· Minimum password age: (typically =0)
· Minimum password length: (typically =7)
· Password must meet complexity requirements: (typically =Disabled)
· Store passwords using reversible encryption: (typically =Disabled)
Please read this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb684904.aspx (Configuring the Change Password Feature in Outlook Web App).
Let me know about the results.
Thanks.
