i have done the changes th regarding point 1(replacing the default regex
with my regex) but regarding other points like 2 and 3, i think changes may
be required in data store too like  column for

1) which date ,the last password got changed
2)column having history of last 15 pwd
3)column indiacting the count how many time wrong pwd is entered
This is how it is done in typical web application.But for now i dont want
to introduce any data store changes. One reason is  we have to upgrade to
latest wiki version with new release.
