Public bug reported:
When attempting to change my password since update to 14.04, the Change
button is disabled.
The UI claims my password is "Not good enough", probably because it's
not complex according to it's rules. Choosing a different password with
difference characters seems to work cause this to change and the button
enables.
While it's perfectly reasonable and useful to for the OS to provide
feedback on its opinion of password quality, it is my view that it's not
appropriate for the a personal computer to over-rule the decisions of
its user with respect to password choices. For this reason, and that
it's a change in behaviour since the previous version, I think this
should be treated as a bug.
It's possible to change the password with "passwd".
