On ASA, type the command:

password-policy minimum-length value

Example:

hostname(config)# password-policy minimum-length 8

You can even specify how many minimum special characters, numeric, lower-case & upper-case character you required.

password-policy minimum-lowercase value

password-policy minimum-numeric value

password-policy minimum-special value

password-policy minimum-uppercase value

New Features for ASA Version 8.4(4.1) support for password policy and password change.

This means to support for password change your current ASA require updation.

that means we have to conclude that......ASA Version 8.2 (5) by default supports password of length 8 character..>????

Is that what you mean to say????

Yes, Password-policy command is required to change the minimum length of the password which is supported by version 8.4(4.1).

No such feature is supported by 8.2 (5).

For details have a look into below link:
