The minimum password word seems to be 8 characters.

What you can do is install your password during install, then use it to
boot into the installed system.

Log into root account.

The use the command "passwd" and enter your short password, the console
will reply the password is too short, but if you want to really use it,
enter it again.  Then enter it again to confirm it.  You have changed your
password to the short password.

Same for your user account.  Use the root account to do this.

As root:

passwd myusername pw

Where pw is your password.  And myusername is your user name.

You will get similar messages as above but enter the short password again
and it will be accepted,

Regards,

David
