You can go into the /etc/pam.d/passwd file and add the line:
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so
This will allow root to set any password for a user. This
relaxes the test for the password provided. This will only
work for root. Users setting passwords will remain the same.
This line must be the first rule in the file.
Hope this helps.
