change error message on the log in page

Question

Where would i be able to find the message that appears when a customer enters a wrong password when they try to log in, I have already looked in validation.js but i couldn't find it.

Thank you

The request is processing by customer account controller Mage_Customer_AccountController::loginPostAction(). File location is

app/code/core/Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php

Dig from here. I think the error that is generated when password do not match in customer model. ie Mage_Customer_Model_Customer::authenticate(). There you can see this part

File: app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Model/Customer.php

 if (!$this->validatePassword($password)) {
            throw Mage::exception('Mage_Core', Mage::helper('customer')->__('Invalid login or password.'),
                self::EXCEPTION_INVALID_EMAIL_OR_PASSWORD
 }
