Remove password from registration emails

I've modified the lang[english].xml, to remove passwords from being send in the registration email, however it is still being sent. I've changed the following:

<key id="email&amp;_REGISTERED_USER_TEXT" attributes="email" save_date="2015-09-30 15:32:23"><![CDATA[You are now registered in our system at <a href="/[url]">[url]</a>
with this account:

Username: [userid]
Password: [password]]]></key>

To just be:

<key id="email&amp;_REGISTERED_USER_TEXT" attributes="email" save_date="2015-09-30 15:32:23"><![CDATA[You are now registered in our system at <a href="/[url]">[url]</a>
with this account:

Username: [userid]
]]></key>

But the email still gives me "You are now registered in our system at https://site.com/ with this account: Username: salfkjsd Password: changeme"

How can I remove all passwords from emails?

You need to change the key in the language module.
XML files are used during the installation process to populate core_lang* tables.

Could someone point me at the specific file and file location for this change? I'm not sure exactly what the language module is.

Thanks

You don't have to modify any file.

All labels and all the wording that you can find in the UI is managed by the interface itself.

Language management is in the administration area, in the Settings menu. The last item.
When you reach it, just click on the "translate" button and look for that wording ("you have been registered...").
You will find the translation key you're looking for and be able to edit it inline.
