User account edit causes password change in phpmaker

Hi,

If I go into a users account and change the password it works fine. If I go back into the account and change something then exit, if you attempt to log-in again, the password does not work.

I changed the password field to text to view the text :

Old password: demo = 202cb962ac59075b964 b07152d234b70

Saved , went out and back into edit and password field =25ab3b38f7afc116f18 fa9821e44d561

Any idea???

Your question doesn't make a whole lot of sense, so I'm going to take some guesswork.
1. You have a password in your database that is the 202cb962 stuff.
2. You changed the password in the database to the 25ab38f7 stuff.
3. You tried using the 25ab38f7 stuff to log in and it's not working.

Is that about right?

If so, the reason is that the password in the database is encrypted, so the *actual* new password is NOT the 25ab38f7 stuff. The new password could very well be something like "cat" or "dog".

Again, that's just guessing on my part because your question isn't clear. At all.
