PwdChangePassword

This function is used to change the user's Windows password or a password provider's password. The MPR displays a dialog box for this purpose. If the Windows password is changed, the MPR re-encrypts the user's password cache with the new password. Password providers are notified through the PPChangePassword SPI.
