Thanks a lot - it doesn't help this real newbie much - beyond my capabilities. But it appears to be a way to make sure your password is not too simple ( although it's mentioned that passwords can be reduced to one character- if so , the reasoning is beyond me )
If you are a newbie, then you should NOT be logging in as root; a typo can screw up your whole installation.
What are the password requirements on your flavor? On Linux Mint, I can make passwords any 8 characters, like typing the letter "x" 8 times.
