Implement "forgot password" in restful authentication plugin (Page 2 of 2)

can anyone see anything super obvious here that is causing my reset passwords to not commit?

it has just started to fail..

account controller

   #reset password
  def reset_password
        @title = "Reset Password"
        @user = User.find_by_password_reset_code(params[:password_reset_code]) unless params[:password_reset_code].nil?
        #raise if @user.nil?
        return if @user unless params[:user]
        #if ((params[:user][:password] == params[:user][:password_confirmation]) && !params[:user][:password_confirmation].blank?)
        if (params[:user][:password] ==  params[:user][:password_confirmation])
            self.current_user = @user #for the next two lines to work
            current_user.password_confirmation = params[:user][:password_confirmation]
            current_user.password = params[:user][:password]
            @user.reset_password
            reset_session # this forces the user to login
            flash[:notice] = current_user.save ? "Done, Your is Password reset - Login Now to try your new Password" : "Password not reset. Hint, make your Password atleast 8 characters long." 
            redirect_back_or_default('/')
        else
            flash[:notice] = "Password mismatch.. please try again"
        end 
        rescue
    logger.error "Invalid Reset Code entered" 
    flash[:notice] = "That is an invalid password reset action. Please check your email and try again." 
    redirect_back_or_default('/')
end

  # Clear the password (typically to suppress its display in a view).
  def clear_password!
    self.password = nil
    self.password_confirmation = nil
    self.current_password = nil
  end
  
  #forgot password params
  def forgot_password
      @forgotten_password = true
      self.make_password_reset_code
      save(false)
  end
    #used in user_observer
  def recently_forgot_password?
      @forgotten_password
  end
  def reset_password
      # First update the password_reset_code before setting the 
      # reset_password flag to avoid duplicate email notifications.
      update_attributes(:password_reset_code => nil)
      @reset_password = true
  end
    #used in user_observer
  def recently_reset_password?
      @reset_password
  end

Thanks for posting all of this. I was able to identify the problem where it was calling UserNotifier instead of UserMailer but the self.attributes issue really had me stumped for a while.. thanks!
