>For SQL Server logins that have CHECK_POLICY enabled, if you run [ALTER LOGIN](../../t-sql/statements/alter-login-transact-sql.md) and do not include OLD_PASSWORD in the command to change the password, then [Enforce Password History](/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/enforce-password-history) is ignored. This is a by-design behavior to allow password resets despite any previously used passwords. Other checks associated with CHECK_POLICY including length and complexity are checked regardless whether OLD_PASSWORD is used.
