You can specify your own pattern for valid passwords on the System-wide Security Parameters page (click [Home] > [System Administration] > [Security] > [System Security] > [System-wide Security Parameters]) on the Management Portal.
The default patterns are:

3.32ANP: Default for minimal and normal security installations. Passwords must have between 3 and 32 characters. Characters can be alphanumeric or punctuation.
-
8.32ANP: Default for locked down security installations. Passwords must have between 8 and 32 characters. Characters can be alphanumeric or punctuation.
