Password Complexity

How do you set the password complexity requirements in Ubuntu? I don't recall this being covered in the Linux + class.

You have to edit the file /etc/pam.d/common-password

Every time I try this I wind up locking myself out. I just want passwords to have at least one cap and one number and be at least six digits in length.
