Question : Need to disbale strong passwords

I need to disable strong passwords in SQL Express 2005 for a line of business app that a client needs to install on their Small Business Server 2003 R2 Standard. It appears to have changed from the old SAPWD switch in 2000.

Program is AdvancePro a Warehousing/inventory program that ties into QuickBooks.

Thanks!
