Default change "did you forget your password" message...

I'll agree with the Xanax post.

THat's what I figured. Here's an easier way and it actually suits me
better anywho:

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] / Value Name: LogonType
Value Data: [0 - Classic Mode / 1 - Welcome Screen]
Modify/Create the Value Name [LogonType] according to the Value Data
listed above.
Exit Registry and Reboot

Is there a way to change this anywhere? I really find it annoying. NO
I DIDN'T FORGET IT, I JUST TYPED IT WRONG BY MISTAKE!!!! I really
can't stand things like that. I'd rather it just pop up a message
saying "wrong password".That's all it needs to do. It's like the
automated phone systems that try to sound too much like there's a
real person on the other end. Too condescending for my taste. So
anyway, if there's a way to change the message, I'd love to know
about it. :-) Thanks, -keith


Get a hex editor. Locate the text in the program. Modify the message,
being certain to keep the LENGTH of the characters exactly the SAME. e.g.
pad with spaces if necessary. Length must not change. Save it. It may
appear more than once in the file.

There's no other way to do it unless you are a programmer.
