You want to create a tiny module, and use the Drupal function hook_form_alter to fix this form.

/**

function loginmod_help($section) {
  switch ($section) {
    case 'admin/modules#description':
      return t('Makes login block collapsible');
  }
}

/**
* Implementation of hook_form_alter().
*/
function loginmod_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
  if ($form_id == 'user_login_block'){
       unset($form['links']);
       $items = array();
       if (variable_get('user_register', 1)) {
           $items[] = l(t('Create new account'), 'user/register', array('title' => t('Create a new user account.')));
       }
       $form['links'] = array('#value' => theme('item_list', $items)); 
  }
}

Save this as loginmod.module and create a separate file called 'loginmod.info' with the following inside it:

; $Id$
name = Loginmod
description = This module changes the default login block so it doesn't contain the 'request new password' field.

Put both of these files into a folder called 'loginmod' and upload it into the modules directory of your website, and upload it. Then enable the module. If you have any problems with it, you can delete the module folder.

Take a look http://api.drupal.org and look up the function 'user_login_form' to see what form fields are set in this function. Find the one you want to change, and I bet it has a line in it like: '#size' => 20, or something like that.

Copy the entire form element to your custom function, put an unset of the form variable (like I did in the previous example) and then paste the code below that line, and modify the #size attribute to what you want.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Dwees,

I ported your module to Drupal 6 using the online version of Deadwood here. It works great. Thanks for a very useful module.

Here is loginmod.info (same as previous version)

; $Id$
name = Loginmod
description = This module changes the default login block so it doesn't contain the 'request new password' field.
core = 6.x

Here is loginmod.module

/**
* Implementation of hook_help().
*/
function loginmod_help($path, $arg) {
  switch ($path) {
    case 'admin/modules#description':
      return t('Makes login block collapsible');
  }
}

/**
* Implementation of hook_form_alter().
*/
function loginmod_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'user_login_block'){
       unset($form['links']);
       $items = array();
       if (variable_get('user_register', 1)) {
           $items[] = /* TODO
   Please manually fix the parameters on the l() or url() function on the next line.
   Typically, this was not changed because of a function call inside an array call like
   array('title' => t('View user profile.')).*/
l(t('Create new account'), 'user/register', array('title' => t('Create a new user account.')));
       }
       $form['links'] = array('#value' => theme('item_list', $items));
  }
}

Oops. I see that I am supposed to fix something in the module from the comments added by Deadwood. Unfortunately, I do not know enough php to do this. I have installed this module and it appears to be working. Any help would be appreciated.

Even simpler is to use the core "locale" module and create a new translation for the text you want to change:

I've been searching for solutions to this, and none of which I had come across worked. This just worked and the explanation is really straight forward. Thanks!

The loginmod module described above addresses the user login block. However, it doesn't address the login page (yoursite.com/user/login)
http://drupal.org/node/68792 seems to provide indications on how to take care of the latter.
