Event InformationAccording to Microsoft:
Cause :
This event is logged when an attempt was made to change the password of the target user account. The message indicates whether the attempt was successful. The person or process changing the password provided the old password. Because the user can change the password without logging on, the Caller User Name might be shown as "anonymous."
Resolution :
If a single account has several password-change failures logged, it might be under a password-guessing attack. Verify that such an attack is not occurring. Otherwise, no user action is required.

If a single account has several password-change attempts logged, the user might be trying to circumvent password-history policy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cause:
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.

Resolution:
If 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.
