SYMPTOMS
When you install the fix from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 275657, 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 &quot;The password is successfully changed&quot; 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
