I'm trying to set the Identity of the Application Pool to a specific account. When I'm entering the password for a user name it says

The specified password is invalid.Type a new password.

Is there any specific requirement for the password field?

For me, it was that I wasn't adding the domain name to the login (DOMAIN\USER). It was defaulting to a local account

The user account you specify must have "Access this computer from the network" user right in group policy.

If this is server is joined to a domain, will need to add this right via Group Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment.
