	&lt;?php echo &#036;form-&gt;error(&#036;model,'password_repeat'); ?&gt;


&lt;/div&gt;

how to avoid the default value in password field…

You can assign an empty value like


$model->password='';

or use

$model->unsetAttributes() - http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CModel#unsetAttributes-detail

You are probably using an existing model.

So, if you are creating a new entry, use a new model, too.

If you are updating it and don’t want to show the current password, you can clean the password value in the controller. Note: You may have to handle the case when the user doesn’t update the password. Better yet: remove the password fields and have an action and view just for changing passwords.
