Updating password a no go
irb(main):004:0> u.update_attributes(:password => "test", :password_confirmation => "test")
 ~ SELECT `id` FROM `users` WHERE (`login` = 'justin') ORDER BY `id` LIMIT 1
=> true
irb(main):005:0> 

Updating other attributes works fine
irb(main):007:0> u.update_attributes(:city => "test")
 ~ SELECT `id` FROM `users` WHERE (`login` = 'justin') ORDER BY `id` LIMIT 1
 ~ UPDATE `users` SET `city` = 'test', `updated_at` = '2008-11-21 11:06:40' WHERE (`id` = 1)
=> true
irb(main):008:0>
