Another artilce about passwords, but this one provides links to a couple of programs that lets you test your own password and make sure it's actually safe.
The article also mentions that some experts have started to think that it might be better to force the use of a long complex password for each account that isn't changed very often.
These experts think that having policies where people must change passwords every 30 or 90 days is nearly like shutting the barn door after the damage has been done.
From a personal point of view if my password wasn't changed often I would be far more likely to pick a complex and long password that would be much harder to crack or guess.
