Hello,

Is there a way to remove the most used passwords restriction when creating accounts?

See $wgPasswordPolicy

From a security perspective its probably a bad idea to do that due to the risk of dictionary attacks.

Thank you. I have a school wiki, and I prefer short/easy passwords. Which parameter should I use to remove the restriction?

$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']=[]; would remove all restrictions (including length) for normal users but not admins. See thecdoc page for more options.
