NT passowrd change problem

[Thomas E. Knowles]

ps - It might be a good idea to comment that an NT PDC will also return error
code 2245 when the password does not pass the 'password uniqueness' test
(configurable under "Policies" -> "Account...") in User Manager for Domains.

If Microsoft would have put this in lmerr.h, my life would have been easier. :)
