Problem trying to change password

I've looked/searched everywhere but haven't found this problem and solution on this forum yet;

I want to change my password;
I open the Admin-area
I click in Password (second from right)
From that point the site crashes, it hasn't even loaded completely!
I had this several times but the problems keeps appearing.

Any help would be appreciated!

PS: the other options don't have any problem, they all work perfect

This is a known bug in PHP 4.4.1. I wrote a username/password reset script and it can by found at http://carbonize.co.uk/Lazarus/Smf/index.php?topic=8.0 and this will bypass that page. Just remember to delete it when done.

I am not aware if Chi Kien Uong is aware of this problem so feel free to email him about it.

I have witnesed this as well and the utility did not work for me what type of encyption is being used? I would rather type it in by hand anyway.

It is just the standard MySQL encryption. You can do it using phpMyAdmin but remember ot select PASSWORD from the function list.
