Description of problem:

Anaconda Graphical Installer used to allow the user to proceed after warning that their entered password was weak.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

F22 Alpha, Beta TC2, TC3

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an Anaconda installation from test image.
2. Enter a root or user password - the onscreen message evaluates the password strength.
3. Installation is prevented from continuing because the feature that users rely on to continue- the 'press twice to accept weak password' does no longer function.
 

Actual results:

Policy is dictated by the software, not the administrator. :-(
This is both a regression over previous behaviour, and Poor Policy Choice.

Expected results:

The Administrator should be able to define Policy- in this case password policy.

Additional info:

This regression is causing increased unnecessary workload.
   
For a large fleet of development and test VMs securely isolated on a LAN the passwords are generated according to a 'rule of thumb' type formula.

This Regression breaks the existing workflow of their installation and administration.
