Bug Description
When installing ubuntu, I could, if I choose, to use a password that is considered insecure, e.g., 123456, though I am warned, I am allowed. After installing, if I try to change my password to something like 123456 I am told the password is too simple, and I can't change it. It needs to be one or the other, personally I don't think I should be told I can't change my password to 123456, that isn't very free. Tell me I am an idiot, but don't tell me I can't.
