Observed the same, couldn't create/add a new user. The hint for the
strength switches directly from "too short" to "not good enough" and
stays there no matter how complex or long the password is.

@johnaaronsore: Set password with `passwd` (as you did) and remove the
user from the group nopasswdlogin, e.g. with `sudo gpasswd -d $USER
nopasswdlogin`

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".
