Forgot password code results in page timeout

[OrganizedFellow]

I have tried each of these 3 snippets. The same result, both on localhost dev environment and DigitalOcean live server.

    $admin = $users->get('organizedfellow');
    $admin->setOutputFormatting(false);
    $admin->pass = 'PA55W0RD';
    $admin->save();

    $u = $users->get('organizedfellow');
    $u->of(false);
    $u->pass = 'PA55W0RD';
    $u->save();

    $users->get("organizedfellow")->setOutputFormatting(false)->set('pass', 'PA55W0RD')->save();

Using PW 2.7.2.

The page freezes and does not load. When I remove the code, it loads normally.

Is there a new method of resetting password?

Maybe your new password does not meet the minimum security requirements for the field? Not sure if that could cause a timeout - you'd think there would be some error notice.

I wasn't aware of that requirement.

 

My password contains uppercase and lowercase letters and 1 number.

The minimum requirements feature was introduced in 3.0.22 and is configurable for the field: https://processwire.com/blog/posts/upgrades-optimizations-pw-3.0.22/#major-enhancements-to-our-password-field

Is a mod_security being hit?

Sorry Tom, am not sure what that means. How would I know?

For possible mod_security errors try to look inside the log file of both your local and host server

[OrganizedFellow]

After checking both log files for both my development localhost server and my DigitalOcean server, there are actually '0' errors in either Apache log file.

OK, WEIRDEST THING HAPPEN!

 

So I have been saving the code mentioned above to a template, actually 'home.php'.

'home.php' prepends '_init.php'.

I moved the code from 'home.php' to '_init.php' and it works just fine.

I guess it was having some conflict with something else?
