Public bug reported:

At least until the user created in Ubuntu is not a web user, it
shouldn't be a requirement to have a complex password. The user insert
the password to their desktop often and don't want to increase the
chances to make typos.

This requirement is in place both in the User Accounts panel in System
Settings and with the command "passwd".

The work around is to remove "obscure" in line 25 of /etc/pam.d/common-
password
