Password issues

You can always ignore the warning.

You can only ignore the warning if you change the password using the passwd
command, not when trying to do it graphically in System Settings->User Accounts
as the OP described. I also noticed that doing it graphically required me to
enter the root password first, which isn't (and shouldn't be) necessary when
doing it via the passwd command.
