26599	Django Passsword Change Form giving wrong POST value for Old Password of Admin	shikha-desai	nobody	"I have created a link to the Password Change Form using :

<a href=""{% url 'admin:password_change' %}"">{% trans 'Change password' %}</a>

The problem is : It works for all web users, but if I login as admin and then change the password, say if the original password is:'admin'...Now I change it to '1234', it works and I can login again.

But when I again go to change_password and try to change from '1234' to something else, it gives 'Incorrect Old Password'.

On debugging, I found that the POST request received has the old_password field value as 'admin' while I have typed '1234'.

When I tried to add another field on the html page and updated the old_password section as below:
{{{
<div class=""form-group"">
    <div class=""control-label col-sm-2"">
        {{ form.old_password.label_tag }}
    </div>
    <div class=""controls col-sm-10"">
        {% dab_field_rendering form.old_password %}
        {{ form.old_password }}
        {% if form.old_password.errors %}<span class=""text-danger"">{{ form.old_password.errors|striptags }}</span>{% endif %}
    </div>
</div>
}}}

It works perfectly fine and receives the correct request, but I can't ask user to enter the old password two times. There seems to be a problem with the code of change password."	Bug	closed	Template system	1.8	Normal	worksforme	Admin:Password Change Form		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
