How to change Windows Server 2012 password requirements when installing?

Hi all,
Can some1 help?
i'm trying to install Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, and i'm being prompted that the Administrator account password does not meet the password security requirements:
Just as i figured out the not optimum mode recommended mode 1280x1024 60hz problem, i got the Administrator account password problem.

The thing is, now since Windows Server hasn't even been installed yet, there is no administrator who has set anything.

So what i need is someway to alter the Windows Server 2012 password complexity requirements before a server has been installed (i.e. before i can configured the password complexity requirements).

How do i alter the Windows Server 2012 password complexity requirements, to meet my password complexity requirements - before installing Windows Server 2012?

Just use a temporary complex password, for when you do the install and then you can change the requirements after.

As far as I know there is not a way to do it before the install

This.

You can change the requirements after install. There is absolutely no need to change the complexity during the initial install.
