Is there a way to force content editors / users to change their passowrd. Also, to make sure they use strong passwords?

Nope, not standard. You will have to modify the source to get this functionality. Or you could create a usercontrol and let them change their password on a different page.

Maybe an idea to check the Ajax Library, i think there is a default controll for this.

I mean this one: http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/PasswordStrength/PasswordStrength.aspx

Ok i had a not so busy day, so i did hack it in:

Steps:

1) Download the Ajax ControlToolkit : http://www.codeplex.com/AtlasControlToolkit/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=11121
2) Open the Umbraco Project in Visual Studio
3) Add the AjaxControlToolkit.dll as reference in the Umbraco presentation Project.
4) Open the Controll: umbraco\presentation\umbraco\controls\passwordChanger.ascx
5) add component ajaxToolkit:PasswordStrength

My result was:

Code:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="passwordChanger.ascx.cs" Inherits="umbraco.controls.passwordChanger" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" %>

<a href="#" onclick="if (document.getElementById('umbPasswordChanger').style.display == '' || document.getElementById('umbPasswordChanger').style.display == 'none') {document.getElementById('umbPasswordChanger').style.display = 'block'; this.style.display = 'none';}">Change password</a><br />
<div id="umbPasswordChanger" style="display: none;">
<table>
  <tr>
      <th>New Password:</th>
      <td style="width: 359px">
          <asp:TextBox ID="passwordNew" TextMode="password" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
          <ajaxToolkit:PasswordStrength ID="PS" runat="server"
              TargetControlID="passwordNew"
              DisplayPosition="RightSide"
              StrengthIndicatorType="Text"
              PreferredPasswordLength="10"
              PrefixText="Strength:"
              TextCssClass="TextIndicator_TextBox1"
              MinimumNumericCharacters="0"
              MinimumSymbolCharacters="0"
              RequiresUpperAndLowerCaseCharacters="false"
              TextStrengthDescriptions="Very Poor;Weak;Average;Strong;Excellent"
              CalculationWeightings="50;15;15;20" />
      </td>
  </tr>
<tr>
      <th>Confirm new Password:</th>
      <td style="width: 359px">
          <asp:TextBox ID="passwordNewConfirm" TextMode="password" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
          <asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Passwords must match" ControlToValidate="passwordNew" ControlToCompare="passwordNewConfirm" Operator="Equal"></asp:CompareValidator>
      </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</div>

Result:
