What kind are you using? are you using a database? or do you use a simple if end if statement? be more specific

If you are using an If statement for your password, you could do something like this.
Code:
'Global
public password as string = "pass"
'Login
if textbox1.text = password then
MsgBox("Correct!")
else
Msgbox("Incorrect!")
'Change password (Where textbox2 is your new password)
password = textbox2.text
MsgBox("Password Changed!")Re: How to create a change password Button?? - Himansh - 04-03-2012
Hi Brandon Milton
Actually your method works but i want that when a user changes the password it permanently changes .
That is
after applying your method when i restarted the application the changed password didn't worked .
And also thanks for replying to my post

Well then you're probably going to want to use the same method I mentioned above, but instead of using a local variable, use a Setting. These can be accessed by
Code:
My.Settings.Re: How to create a change password Button?? - Himansh - 04-04-2012
Hi brandon
I applied your given method and created a new variable called
Password in my projects>properties>settings and entered its value as my default password
Then i replaced "password" with
My.setting.password
Now after installing the application i changed the password but it still don't change after we restart application.
If you don't understand what i am saying then i am mailing you my projects files .
You can yourself check that out .
And also thanks for all the help you have provided to me.
The mail subject will be
My text encryptor
Re: How to create a change password Button?? - brandonio21 - 04-04-2012
Alright, I looked into your project file, and turns out you just needed one line of code that I forgot to tell you about. Just insert this code everytime you change the password
Code:
My.Settings.Save()That will save all of the settings so they can be used when the application restarts!
