Revert password back to original

Question

I changed my password a while back, and now want to change it back to THE ORIGINAL PASSWORD. But it says it is not strong enough. What can I do?

(I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on a lenovo think pad.)

Answer 1

Use the command

sudo passwd <your username>

This is does not check for security, so it should let you change your password to the one before.
