This is fairly simple to build your own...and you don't have to use much more than a TPanel, TEdit two TLabels and a TShape.

A Tshape component aligned left inside a panel and colored works great as the simple progress bar, just change the width % of the TShape to match the % strength. Adjust color and such to match. A good resource then for the % strength is to use one of the many examples found on the web. As an addition to this table, if you have a spell check component available, try to spellcheck the result...if it passes then it should get a much lower score (in my opinion -50 from the result).

In the onChange for the edit, recompute the password strength and adjust the other controls appropriately.
