This event indicates that the password for the specified user account (target account) was changed. This change was made by the user specified in the Caller User Name field of the message, using the old password of the target account. This event might indicate that someone is trying to get the password of another user.
ResolutionIf a large number of Security 627 failure messages are displayed for a single account, a password guessing attack might be in progress. Verify that such an attack is not occurring. Otherwise, no user action is required.
If a large number of Security 627 success or failure messages are displayed for a single account, the user might be changing their password repeatedly to circumvent password history policy.

About the KnowledgeBase Event Repository
This is a repository of known Windows Events, hopefully together with a description of what it means, when it appears and how to troubleshoot it. The event repository was initially provided as a tool for parser creation but has since evolved. It is now part of the overall knowledgebase in the hope that it provides a useful service to the community. Please add your comments and questions (which we try to answer), as this increases the event repository usefulness for all of us.
