Can't edit moodle password policy

Multi tool use
I want to edit moodle's password policy (I have admin account) but when i try to edit new values and after that push button
"Save changes" it don't saves edited value and insted shows me old default values i have moodle 3.5 and in it's opensource code in (admin->category.php) i have found code like this:
I am not experienced developer but from this code i found that admin user isn't allowed to edit settings at all
- why this logic is placed in this code (Is it because password
policy should't been edited or because of extra secuirity?)
If i make $adminediting always true my admin account would be able
to change settings?
$adminediting = optional_param('adminedit', -1, PARAM_BOOL);
if ($PAGE->user_allowed_editing() && $adminediting != -1) {
$USER->editing = $adminediting;
}
if ($PAGE->user_allowed_editing()) {
$url = clone($PAGE->url);
if ($PAGE->user_is_editing()) {
$caption = get_string('blockseditoff');
$url->param('adminedit', 'off');
} else {
$caption = get_string('blocksediton');
$url->param('adminedit', 'on');
}
$buttons = $OUTPUT->single_button($url, $caption, 'get');
}
