You can only ignore the warning if you change the password using the passwd
command, not when trying to do it graphically in System Settings->User Accounts
as the OP described. I also noticed that doing it graphically required me to
enter the root password first, which isn't (and shouldn't be) necessary when
doing it via the passwd command.
