I really, really hope you're not considering using a space as your password. – Phoshi May 5 '11 at 21:43
As a password, or as a part of the password? – grawity May 6 '11 at 12:33
@Phoshi: Thanks for the concern but did I say I am going to use it? – hari May 10 '11 at 23:02

Only when you disable the limitations in login.conf you can use SPACE as your password with passwd.
