4723: An attempt was made to change an account's password
On this page
The user attempted to change his/her own password. Subject and Target should always match. Don't confuse this event with 4724.
This event is logged as a failure if his new password fails to meet the password policy.
If the user fails to correctly enter his old password this event is not logged. Instead, for domain accounts, a 4771 is logged with kadmin/changepw as the service name.
This event is logged both for local SAM accounts and domain accounts.
You will also see event ID 4738 informing you of the same information.

Subject:
The user and logon session that performed the action.
- Security ID: The SID of the account.
- Account Name: The account logon name.
- Account Domain: The domain or - in the case of local accounts - computer name.
- Logon ID is a semi-unique (unique between reboots) number that identifies the logon session. Logon ID allows you to correlate backwards to the logon event (4624) as well as with other events logged during the same logon session.
Target Account:
- Security ID: SID of the account
- Account Name: name of the account
