Sounds like PAM on your system is being rather silly in enforcing password
complexity. Try switching usermin to use the 'passwd' command instead by
going into Webmin -> Usermin Configuration -> Usermin Module Configuration ->
Change Password and setting the 'Command to change password' to /usr/bin/passwd
