Reset Password Doesn't Save New Password CakePHP 2.0 - php

Question

I have now got the system going through the process however for some reason, the code for actually updating the password in the database isn't updating anything? After insert new password and re-password, system immediately redirect to the login page, Even though no errors are shown? Any thoughts? thanks.
This is my Reset Function
function reset($token=null){
$this->User->recursive=-1;
if(!empty($token)){
$u=$this->User->findBytokenhash($token);
if($u){
$this->User->id=$u['User']['id'];
if($this->request->is('post')){
$this->User->data=$this->request->data;
$this->User->data['User']['username']=$u['User']['username'];
$new_hash=sha1($u['User']['username'].rand(0,100));//created token
$this->User->data['User']['tokenhash']=$new_hash;
// print_r($this->request->data);
// exit;
if($this->User->validates(array('fieldList'=>array('password','password_confirm')))){
if($this->User->save($this->User->data)){
$this->Session->setFlash('Password Has been Updated');
$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'login'));
}
} else{
$this->set('errors',$this->User->invalidFields());
}
}
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Token Corrupted,,Please Retry.the reset link work only for once.');
}
} else{
$this->redirect('/');
}
}
And this is my reset.ctp
<?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('action' => 'reset')); ?>
<?php
if(isset($errors)){
echo '<div class="error">';
echo "<ul>";
foreach($errors as $error){
echo "<li><div class='error-message'>$error</div></li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo '</div>';
}
?>
<form method="post">
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('User.password', array('type' => 'password',
'name' => '$data[User][password]',
'class' => 'form-control'));
echo $this->Form->input('User.re_password', array('type' => 'password',
'name' => 'data[User][re_password]',
'class' => 'form-control'));
?>
<input type="submit" class="button" style="float:left;margin-left:3px;" value="Save" />
<?php echo $this->Form->end();?>
</form>
Please, help me , thanks

Replace your ctp code by this
<?php echo $this->Form->create('User'); ?>
<?php
if(isset($errors)){
echo '<div class="error">';
echo "<ul>";
foreach($errors as $error){
echo "<li><div class='error-message'>$error</div></li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo '</div>';
}
?>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('User.password', array('type' => 'password',
'name' => '$data[User][password]',
'class' => 'form-control'));
echo $this->Form->input('User.re_password', array('type' => 'password',
'name' => 'data[User][re_password]',
'class' => 'form-control'));
?>
<input type="submit" class="button" style="float:left;margin-left:3px;" value="Save" />
<?php echo $this->Form->end();?>
Hope this will work.

I just noticed ,
You shuld use $this->User->save($this->request->data)
Check out using this
echo $this->Form->input('User.password', array('type' => 'password',
'class' => 'form-control'));
echo $this->Form->input('User.re_password', array('type' => 'password',
'class' => 'form-control'));
Let name attribute built by cakephp to match with database table,fields. I think you have only one or 2 ctp etc, you are just building your project from start , correct?

try this :
public function beforeSave() {
if (isset($this->data['User']['password'])) {
$this->data['User']['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data['User']['password']);
}
return true;
}
and in function reset
if($this->User->save($this->User->data,false))
it worked for me. Hope it works for you!!
