Just installed Fedora 24. When setting up a password it wouldn't let me carry on with the password I wanted to use suggesting I add more and more letters. I KNOW my password was weak. I WANT a short password to log into MY machine which ONLY I have access to .
You may want to read the guidelines in order to phrase your question according to the rules set for this "forum"...
As for your password strength: You can set a weak password, both for your regular user and root. As the installer anaconda suggests you, just click twice on Done and it will accept a weak password. That's all.
And btw: No need to SHOUT ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ask_fe... http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-quest... ), use bold or something else instead. Thanks and Welcome to ask.fedoraproject.org

"my machine which only i have access to",... is a very dangerous assumption in times like this ;-)
It treats you like a use who doesn’t know what he is doing, … which seems to be the case.
