Implement a progress-bar which shows the password strength in the installer and user management tool.

Low strength = red;
middle strength = orange;
hight strength = green.

Thanks to Peter Koopman, who originally came up with the idea.

Solution #1 is an excellent idea. I think this could be expanded to have options for a password policy. These options could be available in System > Administration > Users and Groups. Check box options: (require uppercase & lowercase letters, require combination of numeric and alpha). A drop down box could also be added for the required minimum password size.
