Hello,

 

the bug below used to be around, chances are that it still is (although your NX-OS version is not specifically listed):

 

 

Disabling password strength-check does not take effect
CSCuw28430
Description
Symptom:
On a Nexus 5000/5500/5600/6000, disabling password strength-check may still cause weak passwords to be rejected.

Conditions:
This is seen after configuring 'no password strength-check'.

Workaround:
Use strong passwords.
Alternatively, copy pasting the encrypted password directly from a different device also is accepted.
