I've created a new GPO in the root of my domain with my required password level set, it also contains the settings enforcing password protected screensavers.

It is enforced.

I've restricted application of the policy to me and my computer only using security filtering.

Using the group policy results wizard it appears the policy is also being picked up by my machine. (under computer configuration)

However whilst the screensaver policy is enforced the password policy isn't, I can change it to whatever I want and as many times as I want (recycling old passwords) in contravention to the policies I've set and seem to be in force?

I would be very grateful for any assistance or pointers in this.

Password policies should ideally be set in the Default Domain Policy. They cannot be overridden for individuals or machines, they must apply to the Domain Controllers for the restrictions to apply to Domain Accounts.

In your case you should find that Local Accounts on your PC will suffer the restrictions, but domain accounts will not.
