I tried to change my password that logs me in using 'change password' (K-Launch/System/Security/Change Password). Whenever I try to change it to something, I get this STUPID pop up that tells me it is a bad password because it is too simple (duh).

I do not need some stupid elaborate super secret password to log me in. I want something simple. Can anyone tell me how to bypass that STUPID feature?

"Stupid" as in "Narrow Outlook". The 'Stupid' feature may be adjusted by the Control Center -> Security Settings.

Rather than compromise his Security policy he helped her come up with a "simple" password that Substituted a $ for an "s" and put a number in the middle she could remember. In most case adding some numbers and some @%*) make a good password. What you don't want is one that a "dictionary attack" can crack.
