If you have physical access to the system, it is probably more
straightforward to change the password.

What hash type? (Some truncate or split passwords after a certain
length, some are case-insensitive.)
Does the password really use at least two (or exactly two?) of those
characters more than once (only 8 different characters, but length 10)?

This won't work unless you adjust params.h and re-compile JtR. By
default, JtR's "incremental mode" is limited to lengths up to 8 at
compile time. See:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2007/07/04/6
Another option is for you to define and use an external mode (then
there's no need to re-compile JtR and to generate a custom charset).

You can create a fake john.pot file with the following contents:
:t
:j
:e
:s
:T
:J
:E
:S
Then generate a charset file as usual (according to the documentation).
