My favorite, though, is:

types in password "Password incorrect" goes to reset password "please enter a new password" types in password "your new password cannot be the same"

That just means you entered it wrong the first time.

It often means that one could have derived the correct password from the set of rules - but those rules are not shown when asking for the old password

Exactly this. I want to normalize showing the password requirements when you don't immediately get the password - if you made me jump through hoops the first time, at least remind me what they were!
