CheckPassword (Compact 2013)

This function validates a password by checking a string to determine if it matches the current password.
Note The default Local Authentication Plugin (LAP) blocks the usage of the SetPasswordActive function and this function. Applications should not use these functions for authenticating the user. Use the VerifyUser and the CreateEnrollmentConfigDialog functions instead.
