But did you try it? The previous poster was correct.

The error occurs when you try to "dereference" a "null" pointer. In this case,
$changeentry is null, so you get an error doing
$changeentry->{userPassword}
Even if that succeeds, you will get an error with the conn->update operation because
all of the other required fields of
changeentry will be null as well.
