THis page:
http://www.deer-run.com/~hal/sysadmin/pam_cracklib.html
details how to user cracklib to enforce strong passwords.  You could
probably figure what setting to change to enable an easily guessable
password.

I think this would be a good time for you to teach how to create strong
passwords that are easy to remember.
