I recieved an interesting request today, I am being asked to find out how to change the windows error message that appears when you try to change your password but it does not meet the domain/policy requirements.

Reason is, we have abnormal password rules such as passwords need to be exactly 13 characters long, some of the rules are harder to remember and when users are trying to change their password we want the default message "your password must be at least 8 characters long... blah blah blah" to reflect our non standard rules.

Does anyone know how we would go about changing the text on that box? Ive researched registries and the like with no luck. Any help is appreciated.
