Fixed the issue.  There was an entire line missing from /etc/pam.d/passwd .  No idea how that happened (this is a ESXi built into a Dell IDPA solition I was trying to change password on)

EMC support helped me.  We had to add this and then I was able to change the root password right away

# Change only through host advanced option "Security.PasswordQualityControl".
password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry=3 min=disabled,disabled,disabled,7,7
