  Contact System Administrator: If there is an urgent need to change the password (e.g., if the password has been compromised), the user should contact their system administrator. The administrator may have the ability to reset the password manually or override the restriction temporarily.
  
  
  Review Password Policy: If this restriction is causing issues for multiple users, it may be worth reviewing the organization's password policy. Adjustments can be made to the frequency of allowed password changes if deemed necessary.
