Searched all over for this in my php theme files and all over the admin interface.

when clicking, Account settings > manage fields

Where can I edit the help text for the username/password field? Currently there is help text being generated on hover of the input field, displaying in a black box. Is there anyway to change the behavior of this within Drupal without having to modify tpl.php files?

Unlike created fields, there is no 'edit' button next to these default fields. (username/password)

The simplest way would be to use the String Overrides module.

For a more robust solution, you can use hook_form_alter in your own custom module, as outlined here.

I actually found it. It’s in the appearance settings. You can tell it to display tooltips or display the text under the labels. I think it was under forms on the theme settings page. Not looking at it right now but I know it’s there. Thanks for your reply though.
