The default filter (passfilt.dll) enforces the following password requirements:
Passwords must be at least six characters long.
Passwords can't contain a users name.
Passwords must use 3 of 4 character types:
lowercase letters
upppercase letters
numbers
symbols
That is the it.
Check out HOWTO: Password Chang Filtering & Notification in Windows NT [Q151082]. This has sample code for the DLL.
