You need to configure your account policies for Account Lockout Threshold and Minimum Password Length.

Explanation:

The Account lockout threshold policy setting determines the number of failed sign-in attempts that will cause a local account to be locked. A locked account cannot be used until an administrator unlocks it or until the number of minutes specified by the Account lockout duration policy setting expires. This is security setting determines the least number of characters that a password for a user account may contain. You can set a value of between 1 and 14 characters, or establish that no password is required by setting the number of characters to 0.
