Password Validation Field Fails

I am using the defaults set in Security Assist 2.0 Wizard to create the registration form.
The password gets rejected whenever I include any non-alphanumeric characters, such as # or ) or !, etc.

The message in the form says "The password doesn't meet the specified strength. Your field must contain: a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 500 characters, a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 500 alphabet characters, and a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 500 numbers"

However, the server validation appears to only check for the minimum and maximum number of characters.

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateEL((isset($_POST["Registration_group_Password"])?$_POST["Registration_group_Password"]:"") . "",6,500,true,4);

Where does it check for the number of alpha characters and or numerals and why does it reject the non-alphanumerics?

Thanks.

the spry validation checks for the special characters. to edit the spry validation setting, select the password field in design view, notice the blue bounding box surrounding the password field, click this to trigger the spry settings to show in the property inspector.
