It's even worse now than when reported. Trying passwords containing
upper case character(s), lower case character(s), numbers & special
character such as ! does not enable the Change button. Also, using sudo
passwd userid allows me to change the password from a non-passworded
account but does not actually change it (i.e. after Restart, still shows
'Login' box after selecting relevant user - clicking on this box gives
login!

Title:
  Can't change password

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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".
