application roles and strong passwords



Hi,
we are testing upgrading an application to run SQL 2005. One issue we
are having is that the one application role they have has a 'weak'
password. We are trying to change the password and it seem to be
inforcing the 'strong password policy from windows. I cannot see a way
around this. Do all application roles need strong passwords? Is there
any way around it?

.
