You have to change two more files:
Change /js/prototype/validation.js and comment out the following lines:
['validate-cpassword', 'Please make sure your passwords match.', function(v) {
var conf = $('confirmation') ? $('confirmation') : $$('.validate-cpassword')[0];
var pass = false;
if ($('password')) {
pass = $('password');
}
var passwordElements = $$('.validate-password');
for (var i = 0; i < passwordElements.size(); i++) {
var passwordElement = passwordElements[i];
if (passwordElement.up('form').id == conf.up('form').id) {
pass = passwordElement;
}
}
if ($$('.validate-admin-password').size()) {
pass = $$('.validate-admin-password')[0];
}
return (pass.value == conf.value);
}],
After that, you also have to change the Magento Customer Core model. There are two types of validation: through the front-end javascript and in the backend Customer model.
Rewrite the model with your own customer module. Then copy the validate() public function. And comment out the following lines:
$confirmation = $this->getConfirmation();
if ($password != $confirmation) {
$errors[] = Mage::helper('customer')->__('Please make sure your passwords match.');
}
