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.

For security reasons, Cisco currently has a minimum size of passwords since this prevents attacks on your network infrastructure, please rate this answer as this motivates you to continue supporting.
