SCFG->System:
Users Can Change Password        Yes, 4 chars minimum

Also, the file text/password.can

Some obvious passwords are always disallowed from str.cpp->sbbs_t::chkpass(). Here's that logic:

        if((unique && user->pass[0]
                        && (strstr(pass,user->pass) || strstr(user->pass,pass)))
                || (name[0]
                        && (strstr(pass,name) || strstr(name,pass)))
                || strstr(pass,alias) || strstr(alias,pass)
                || strstr(pass,first) || strstr(first,pass)
                || (last[0]
                        && (strstr(pass,last) || strstr(last,pass)))
                || strstr(pass,handle) || strstr(handle,pass)
                || (user->zipcode[0]
                        && (strstr(pass,user->zipcode) || strstr(user->zipcode,pass)))
                || (sysname[0]
                        && (strstr(pass,sysname) || strstr(sysname,pass)))
                || (sysop[0]
                        && (strstr(pass,sysop) || strstr(sysop,pass)))
                || (cfg.sys_id[0]
                        && (strstr(pass,cfg.sys_id) || strstr(cfg.sys_id,pass)))
                || (cfg.node_phone[0] && strstr(pass,cfg.node_phone))
                || (user->phone[0] && strstr(user->phone,pass))
                || !strncmp(pass,"QWER",3)
                || !strncmp(pass,"ASDF",3)
                || !strncmp(pass,"!@#$",3)
                )
                {
                bputs(text[PasswordObvious]);
                return(false);
        }
