Hi
You need to create a custom password filter (a.k.a. programming a new dll).
From
Passwords must meet complexity requirements of the installed password filter
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gp/504.asp
"To create custom password filters, refer to the Microsoft Platform Software
Development Kit and the Microsoft Knowledge Base."
For customized Password Policy (anything other than the default), you can look
at Password Filter SDK sample code in folder
%mssdk%\Samples\WinBase\Security\WinNT\PwdFilt, if you have installed Microsoft
Platform SDK.
The documentation for password filter programming is at
Password Filters
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/security/security/password_filters.asp
The SDK can be downloaded by installing the "Core SDK" from
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
