Answer 1

I'm not sure if this can be done with just one regex.. As an alternative, below a small helper function to do the tests.

function Test-AdminPassword {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param(
        [Parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$Password,

        [Parameter(Position = 1)]
        [int]$Requirements = 5
    )
    $result = 0

    # test length between 12 and 24
    if ($Password.Length -in 12..24) {
        $result++
    }
    # test uppercase
    if (($Password -creplace '[^A-Z]', '').Length -ge 3) {
        $result++
    }
    # test lowercase
    if (($Password -creplace '[^a-z]', '').Length -ge 3) {
        $result++
    }
    # test digits
    if (($Password -replace '[^0-9]', '').Length -ge 3) {
        $result++
    }
    # test special characters
    if (($Password -creplace '[^!@$#%^&*()_+\-=\[\]{};'':"\\|,.<>\/? ]', '').Length -ge 3) {
        $result++
    }

    # return $true if the password complies with at least $requirements
    return ($result -ge $Requirements)
}

do {
    $AdminPassword = Read-Host -Prompt "Please insert an Admin Password (must have the 3 lower case characters, 3 upper case characters, 3 digits and 3 special characters)"
} until (Test-AdminPassword $AdminPassword)
