User Accounts password change form incorrectly says "Wrong password" when password chage restrictions in effect

[sparr]

If a user has password expiry restrictions in place that prevent password changes (such as a minimum password age set with chage) and they try to change their password through the User Accounts tool, they will see a red warning icon to the right of the "Current password" field, and the hover text for that icon is "Wrong password". This text is misleading in this circumstance.
