   Can anyone help me. I am trying to find out how to edit the content of the email that is sent out to new registrants on my site. I have password protected a page with a simple password and want to add that password after the standard username and password generated by wordpress. I don't need to generate random passes for each new registrant just the one pass for all.

   Thank you

   It's in /wp-includes/pluggables.php in the function called wp_new_user_notification() on line 614. You'll probably just want to change $plaintext_pass with whatever your password is in the line $message .= sprintf(__('Password: %s'), $plaintext_pass) . "\r\n"; on line 630.

   From what your saying, it doesn't sound like you want to change the password that wp generates a user. If you do, read above, otherwise, read this:

   The person above me is right, that's where the function you're looking for is. But instead of changing the value of $plaintext_pass, I'm guessing you're more looking to alter the email that is sent out to them, then below the lines:
   

   $message  = sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n";
   	$message .= sprintf(__('Password: %s'), $plaintext_pass) . "\r\n";
   	$message .= get_option('siteurl') . "/wp-login.php\r\n";

   Add:
   $message .= __('Whatever your message is goes in here') . '\r\n';

   Just to let you know that I have a plugin that performs this function(defining the registration email), which saves editing a core file(which should be avoided), you can find it here:
