That feature is required for security compliance. I suppose you could remove it if you're good enough at coding PHP, but I don't know why you'd want to. Coming up with a new password four times a year doesn't seem like much of a chore to me.

The password only has to change by one letter, so if you do not feel the need to completely reinvent it each time, you don't have to.

As steve said it's not much of a chore, and even less if you take advantage of a service like Lastpass; but swguy has posted a work around (be sure to read the PCI warning) http://thecartblog.com/2012/02/26/disabling-the-forced-admin-password-change-in-zen-cart-1-5-0/
thank you
