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

3I really, really hope you're not considering using a space as your password. – Phoshi – 2011-05-05T21:43:16.787
As a password, or as a part of the password? – user1686 – 2011-05-06T12:33:40.887
@Phoshi: Thanks for the concern but did I say I am going to use it? – hari – 2011-05-10T23:02:47.800
