How do I change the password settings for the existing users and how
to enforce the minimum 1 aplhanumeric & 1 upper case character in the
password and the password should not contain the first or middle or
last name of the user ?

Set an expiry period on the existing passwords, forcing users to change
them. Then they should have to set them according to your new rules.
