I usually use the same partial for creating and editing, what you said is
about right, I usually just do;
*fields that are used for both creating and updating*
% if @user.new_record? %>
%= submit_tag 'Create' %>
% else %>
%= submit_tag 'Update' %>
% end %>
and then throw in whatever else you need to like back buttons or whatever.
For updating the password, you can either just have the two password fields,
which will update the passwords if a new one is set, or you can do another
if @user.new_record? statement in the form and have it show the fields for
creating a password or updating a password.
Hope this helps.
