Thank you for your bug report, pitti do you have any opinion on that? I
don't really have a strong one either way but I found it somewhat
annoying as well while doing install testing there ;-)

Title:
  The user account password requirements should be less strict

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The password field in the User Accounts panel enforces corporatey
  password requirements. Passwords must be a particular length, must not
  be "too simple", and cannot be similar to existing passwords. Consider
  a case where a user accidentally enters a password with caps lock
  turned on. There will be no way to solve this without choosing a
  different password altogether. Also because of this requirement, one
  cannot change a hint for an existing password.

  Ubuntu aims to be an easy to use operating system at home - one that
  doesn't demand too much from the user. So, this feature should
  probably be turned off in our case.
