-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install the fix from Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q275657, the
return address that is used after a password change becomes corrupted.

CAUSE
=====

If you choose to change the password, a pop-up window displays the "The password
is successfully changed" message, but the link to close this window is wrong.
For example, the link appears as

  http%3A//www.microsoft.com

instead of:

  http://www.microsoft.com

WORKAROUND
==========

The password change functionality is working correctly; the problem lies in the
return link. To work around this problem, click the Back button to return to the
calling page.

RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to

testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if you
are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait
for the next Microsoft Windows NT service pack that contains this fix.
