Customizing Error message for lost password submission

    I’m trying to find out how I can customize the Error message on the default login.php page when someone tries to recover their password. Right now the error message is “ERROR: There is no user registered with that email address.”

    All I’m wanting to do is find where that string is located and add a text link to it where users will be able to look up what username we have for them (which will be a separate page). Anyone know where I can find this?

    Add the following to your functions.php in your theme.

    add_filter( 'login_errors', 'wp57484_login_text' );

function wp57484_login_text( $error ) {

	return $error . " String You Want Add";
}

    Replace the value in return with what you want to display. If you just want to add a link at the end, replace everything within the double quotes in return $error . " String You Want Add";
