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".
