lsass.exe system error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I got a message box from lsass.exe saying, "When trying to update a password,
this return status indicates that the value provided as the current password
is not correct." Then the system would restart itself, and re-display the
message, over and over. I'm running Windows XP Home.

Hi.. the difference between isass.exe (isass.exe is registered as the
Optix.Pro virus which carries in it's payload, the ability to disable
firewalls and local security protections, and a backdoor capability) but
this is
lsass which is a system error.. I'm learning trying to pass it on..
