I disabled login options, how do I reset my password?

Asked by Levan Chelidze on 2012-10-20

So yesterday I changed password on ubuntu, but today I wanted to revert it so I entered user accounts and tried to change it, but sadly I could not. It told me password is not secure enough or something then i disabled log in options, but i want it back as it was
