Setting a Minimum Password Length
You can force Windows to reject passwords that do not meet a minimum password length. Useful to help stop people from using trivial passwords where security is an issue.
1. Using Regedit, open the key below, if the Network sub-key does not already exist then create it.
2. Add a new REG_BINARY value of 'MinPwdLen', and set the data to the minimum number of characters required for a password to be accepted.
Note: This does not affect existing passwords, only new or changed.
Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]
Value Name: MinPwdLen
Data Type: REG_BINARY
