Custom password filter message

[Guest]

Hello

I have created a custom password filter on the lines of the sample code provided in Q151082 on Technet. My password policy is stricter than what the built-in Win2K 'password complexity' feature provides. However, the message that users see when their password is rejected by the filter is still the default Microsoft message, which could confuse my users. Do you know how I can change the message? Is there a file or registry key I need to edit? I'd appreciate as much detail as you could provide

Thanks
NK

You can not modify the message.

It is recommended you set up a web page or custom app the users use to make
the password changes that incorporated information concerning your rules.
