SYMPTOMS

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

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.
