New Password Not Working

Hello -

I've created the forms using SA wizzard. Everything is working except the link on the profile.php to 'change password'.

The error is -
After changing my password, I'm redirected on success to login.php. Using my new password (I just created), the login fails and I receive a email with random new password that works properly upon logging in.

Is there a session variable not allowing me to use my newly generated password?

I appreciate greatly you help - Kathi

can you send a copy of the new password page and the login page so I can examine the code please.

I've got the same problem. I've watched the videos and did everything step by step. Everything works EXCEPT for the Generate new password page. It doesn't generate it. It's still the old password. In the video - it does NOT tell you what the form action should be (should there be one? --- I've never made a form that didn't have one, but maybe this one doesn't?) or if it should be GET or POST. I just put the php filename there for the action. Perhaps I shouldn't? When I submit the new password, it just redisplays the newpassword page, but in the address bar it has this as the address which can't be right:

http://[mydomainhere]/newpassword.php?newpassword=[it actually displays the password I typed in right here which I don't think it should]&submitPassword.x=0&submitPassword.y=0&submitPassword=Submit

So I don't know what to do to fix this.

The action can be left blank, that is the same as entering the page name.

The problem you are having is that the method is either not set or set to use the get method, it needs to use the post method.

I've gotten it to not show that weird URL after hitting submit (by changing the form to POST instead of GET) but it still doesn't update the password. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It's just keeping the password to whatever it was originally. And I've removed the action and it does the same thing.

I've checked the update record behavior and everything is setup correctly - it's set to the form submit id, the key column is Userid which is what I'm using, the password on the next step is encrypted... Not sure what else is wrong. the only thing I see that's funny is the PHP code says this:

if (isset($_POST["submitPassword_x"])) // Trigger

instead of "submitPassword" ... but I've tried removing the "_x" and it doesn't help.

After hitting submit, it does go back to the profile page, as if it did something. But it doesn't update it.

Try adding the following at line 1:

<?php if(!session_id()) session_start(); ?>

if your still having problems, please send a copy of the page so I can look at the code.

I tried adding that to line one and it didn't provide diff. results.

I'm attaching the page.

try changing line 14:

$WA_fieldValuesStr = "".WA_SHA1Encryption(((isset($_GET["newpassword"]))?$_GET["newpassword"]:""))  ."";

to:

$WA_fieldValuesStr = "".WA_SHA1Encryption(((isset($_POST["newpassword"]))?$_POST["newpassword"]:""))  ."";

are you still being redirected to the users_Profile.php page?

I changed the GET word to POST, and it doesn't change the password still, but YES - it is still being redirected back to the profile page after submitting it.
